A feature film is being shot in Tottenham, north London, with the aim of showing a different side to the area which was hit by riots last year.

Former Emmerdale and Waterloo Road actress Roxanne Pallett stars in the teen comedy "It's A Lot" which involves professional actors and local people.

Producer Dean Fischer said it was about sending a positive message and making people laugh.

Mark Duggan, 29, was shot dead by police in Tottenham on 4 August 2011, sparking local riots which led to disorder in a number of English cities and towns.
