Filming for a one-off special episode of BBC TV comedy Detectorists has returned to Suffolk – here are all of the best pictures from the set.

Cast and crews of the programme have been spotted across east Suffolk recently, including in Saxmundham and Rendlesham.

Saxmundham railway station was even temporarily renamed Henburystone as part of the filming on Tuesday.

The BAFTA award-winning series stars Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones, with eagle-eyed fans of the show sharing pictures of the actors on social media.

One huge Detectorists fan bumped into some of the cast in Rendlesham while he was wearing some of the show's merchandise.

The show tells the tale of the Danebury Metal Detecting Club, with series one and two filmed in and around Framlingham between 2014 and 2017.

It follows the highs and lows – mostly lows – of two keen amateur metal detectorists as they amble across the countryside, searching for any kind of life-changing treasure, all the while trying to deal with the women in their lives.
