Dame Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan wrapped up warm while filming their first scenes for MobLand season 2 at swanky Mayfair restaurant Scott’s on Thursday evening.
The actress, 80, who plays matriarch Maeve Harrigan in the Guy Ritchie series, was the epitome of chic in a black faux fur trimmed coat.
For the role Helen wore what appeared to be a wig and completed the look with leather gloves, platforms and a clutch bag.
Meanwhile Pierce, 72, who plays her mob boss husband Conrad, cut a dapper figure in a smart grey pin-striped suit.
He layered the double-breasted blazer over a crisp white shirt and grey tie, while keeping warm in a long black wool overcoat.
The duo filmed scenes with Scott’s doorman as their characters dined alfresco and despite the cold weather appeared in great spirits as they shared a giggle between takes.

The gritty series follows powerful London crime bosses Conrad and Maeve Harrigan, as they battle a rival syndicate threatening their empire.
In the show, Tom Hardy stars as Harry Da Souza, their brutal fixer, who is called in to deal with any problems.
The storyline remains under wraps, but Season 2 is expected to pick up in the immediate aftermath of the Season 1 finale’s bloodshed.
The first season saw the Harrigans defeat the Stevenson family, headed by Richie (Geoff Bell), but ended on a cliffhanger with Harry being stabbed by his wife, Jan (Joanne Froggatt).
Harry had used solicitor O’Hara Delaney as a double agent to eliminate Richie’s gang, and then he and Conrad’s eldest son, Kevin (Paddy Considine), killed Richie.
The synopsis for the show reads: ‘Power is up for grabs as two warring crime families clash in a battle that threatens to topple empires.
‘In the crossfire stands Harry Da Souza, a street-smart ‘fixer’ who knows too well where loyalties lie when opposing forces collide.’
The gangster drama launched on Paramount+ in April and immediately impressed fans.

Consisting of ten episodes, the series has received a respectable 78 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes and many viewers have shared positive verdicts.
One fan posted on X: ‘Just watched Episode 1 of #Mobland. I love everything Guy Ritchie, having Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan & Helen Mirren in the mix is such a deal sweetener.
‘The show has so much potential, like I’m already sold with just one episode. Yes, yes, yes!’
‘Tom Hardy, Paddy Considine, Helen Mirren and loads more. Looks like a good series.’; ‘Tom Hardy in a mob series, sign me up!’
‘I just watched the first episode of #Mobland streaming on Paramount+, think it’s going to be a great series.’; ‘#Mobland is a series I can watch all day, every day.’
However, not everyone has been impressed by the gangster drama, and one said: ‘#Mobland ep 1 was not good, the cliché plot the bad accent.’
It comes after Pierce said he is open to playing a retired spy in James Bond, but said the role of 007 is ‘another man’s job’.

The actor,who starred as the iconic MI6 agent between 1995 and 2002, said he is keen to work with Denis Villeneuve, who is set to direct the first film under new owners Amazon MGM.
The next Bond is still yet to be announced, however Pierce ruled himself out of playing the titular role.
He told GQ Magazine: ‘Of course, people ask about Bond – ‘would you?’ and whatever – but that’s another man’s job,’ he said.
‘But the possibilities of working within that film, entertaining…So it’s going to be exciting to see what happens.
‘I think everything changes, everything falls apart, so you just sit back and enjoy it all. Sometimes you entertain it and sometimes you just move on.’
