A Huddersfield village has been thrust into the TV limelight once again.
Lights, camera, action has been called in Marsden where filming has started for a gripping new BBC crime thriller.
The four-part series is called In The Dark and its cast and crew have already been spotted around the village ahead of filming expected to start in the centre next week.
Manchester Road and Mount Road have already been used for filming, as well as locations near to the Old Goods Yard where film crews were parked last weekend.

The village centre will become the focus for the crew next Monday and Tuesday, when filming will include Peel Street.

The series is based on novels by Mark Billingham and will star a young cast including MyAnna Buring (Ripper Street, Downton Abbey, The Twilight Saga) David Leon, Ashley Walters and Emma Fryer.
Buring, will play detective Helen Weeks, who will try overcome childhood secrets as she deals with two major crimes.
Jean Hall, one of the managers at Motormans Cafe, allowed the crew to use their car park on Monday.
“They didn’t film the cafe but from what I could tell it looked like they went down Mount Road to the Carriagehouse and then came back,” she said.
“They were supposed to be there from 2pm to 2am but it took longer than they expected.
“It was quite noisy and I was worried they would keep some of our neighbours up so I don’t think we’ll let a crew stay that late again.
“I think I’ll watch it on TV to see if I can spot any of the locations.
“It’s quite nice that crews want to film around here but it can disrupt your lifestyle a bit.”
Marsden is no stranger to film crews.
