Last July, film crews descended on Corsham High Street to film scenes for the show.

While a host of household names were not spotted during filming, parts of the street were transformed to allow scene-setting shots to take place.

This included the presence of old-fashioned cars, a milk float, actors styled in the fashions of the 1980s, and adaptations to the exterior of some properties.

Ahead of filming, a Corsham Town Council spokesperson, said: “The town council, and Wiltshire Council, have been working with Happy Prince, the ITV Company producing the series, to help make Monday’s filming go as well as possible, with the minimum disruption, and we are looking forward to seeing Corsham on screen again.”
