Shooting has started on BAFTA award-winning Dominic Savage's (Freefall, Born Equal) new two-part drama for BBC Two, Dive.

Co-written by Dominic Savage with Simon Stephens, this is the first time Savage – who is renowned for his improvisation techniques – has fully scripted a drama for the BBC.

A Granada production for BBC Two, Dive is the uplifting story of Lindsey, played by newcomer Aisling Loftus, and Robert, played by Jack O'Connell (Skins), a love-struck teenage couple.

Lindsey – an ambitious diver – is selected to represent Team GB at the 2012 Olympics; but when the pair discover Lindsey is pregnant they are forced to make life-changing decisions about their future.
