Beaconsfield residents had a surprise on Thursday morning, as filming for the second series of Afterlife took place in the town.

Created by one of the countries most decorated comics, Ricky Gervais, the Netflix series received criticial acclaim for it's first season, which was released in March.

Filming has now begun for the second series, with the cameras again descending on Beaconsfield to shoot scenes for the black comedy programme.

Parts of the first series were filmed in Beaconsfield, with other filming locations including Hampstead, Hemel Hempstead, Rickmansworth, and Camber Sands in East Sussex.

The Reading-born comic also has a home in Marlow and is regularly seen in the town.
