The team behind the series were filming at a house in Church Road, Cheriton, with a fake police car and a forensics van being pictured nearby too.

Production crews were also snapped setting up black tents in the front gardens of two houses on the opposite side of the road.

A week later, filming took place in Saltwood where they were shooting for a couple of weeks and are believed to have shot footage at a restaurant in The Green.
