Filming for a special one-off episode of Detectorists is taking place in east Suffolk.

Cast and crew could be seen at Saxmundham railway station, which has temporarily been renamed Henburystone as part of the filming, on Tuesday.

Stars Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones were spotted filming on the platform and outside the station.

Detectorists tells the tale of the Danebury Metal Detecting Club, and was filmed in and around Framlingham during its initial run on TV between 2014 and 2017.

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

The show is set to return for a one-off special set to air later this year.

Last week, fan Ralph Penny bumped into some of the cast filming in Rendlesham while wearing some of the show's merchandise.

The make-believe metal detecting club previously made St Michael's Rooms in Framlingham their home, but the building was demolished last year.

Items from the hit show were auctioned off earlier this year and raised a total of £9,400 for the new community rooms in Framlingham.

The show also received a prestigious international award when it was awarded the Rose d’Or Award 2018 for a sitcom – beating competition from nearly 500 programmes from across the world.

In 2017, John West, a real-life amateur treasure hunter, was given a part in the show after sending producers a showreel of his previous acting and broadcasting work, which includes appearances on Mustard TV as an expert on fossils, folklore and metal detecting.
