DERBYSHIRE actor Tom Chambers will star alongside Oscar-winner Jim Broadbent in a BBC drama about the Great Train Robbery.
The Waterloo Road star, who is from Parwich and went to Repton School, will appear in the second part of the drama, called A Coppers' Tale, which also stars Robert Glenister, Tim Pigott-Smith and James Fox.
A Copper's Tale tells the story of Tommy Butler, played by Jim Broadbent, and the crack team of detectives he assembled in his quest to bring the robbers to justice.
As well as his Waterloo Road role, Chambers won the 2009 series of Strictly Come Dancing with professional partner Camilla Dallerup.
No date has been set for when the drama will be broadcast but this August marks 50 years since the heist.
