These paparazzi-worthy photos show the cameras in Great Budworth for filming on a popular series on Sky.
Passerby Daniel Pendlebury said the crews were in the village for a few hours after around 6pm on Monday.
It is no stranger to the cameras after star turns in BBC’s War of the Worlds – an adaptation of the novel by HG Wells which was released a number of years ago – and Netflix’s Missing You – an adaptation of the novel by Harlan Coben which was released on January 1 – but this time it was for filming on a popular series on Sky.

It has had six series up until now with Cheshire, Lancashire and Greater Manchester all starring as the fictional town of Hawley, Lancashire and its surroundings and the next series is well on the way after starting pre-production at the end of last year.
Mr Pendlebury said: “Joe Gilgun was on fine form and bringing his character to the village.
“He took time to talk to some of his fans on the street before he took to his role as Vinnie.”

The title is an alternative pronunciation of boracic, as in boracic lint, which is the rhyming slang for ‘skint’.
Previously Alex Moody, the head of comedy commissioning at Sky, said: “We could not be happier Vinnie and the gang will return for another raucous ride, bringing heart and Farmer Jim’s unrivalled swear count back to Sky for a seventh series.”
