The inside of Hedingham Castle in Essex also once provided the backdrop for scenes, including in an episode of Lovejoy called The Prague Sun.
Crew members turned the venue’s dining room into the interior of a palace in the Czech capital, making curtains out of a piece of carpet which remains at the site.

“For the team here it is a real bonus and a wonderful bit of stardust which goes a long way, and a film crew is so good for the local economy.
“And who wouldn’t want to have Ian McShane around?”
