FILM crews, camera trolleys and props have once again been a familiar sight on the streets of Dartmouth.
The town will feature in a new BBC1 daytime drama, The Coroner, to be shown next year.
Mainly set in Salcombe, the production is being shot in various locations round the South Hams, including Dartmouth and Totnes.
Filming began last week for the drama which will see Claire Goose and Matt Bardock lead the cast.
It is the third time in as many weeks the town has been chosen to appear on television.
Presenter Andi Peters was spotted filming for ITV's breakfast programmes Good Morning Britain and Lorraine during April.
A competition, fronted by Andi, is expected to be broadcast over five days, starting on Monday next week.
The town also had prime time coverage when it was chosen as the final destination in BBC1's Sunday night The Big Painting Challenge.
Lesley Turner, manger of the Dartmouth Tourist Information Centre, said any television exposure was amazingly good for the town.
'The phone doesn't stop ringing afterwards and inquiries online shoot up,' she said.
The Coroner follows Jane, a high flying solicitor who, after another failed relationship, returns to the small seaside town she escaped as a teenager to take up the post of coroner.
She finds herself forced to work with Davey, the boy who broke her heart and is now local detective sergeant.
Claire Goose, Casualty and Waking The Dead, will play Jane, the coroner; and Matt Bardock, Casualty, will play Davey, the local detective sergeant.
They will be joined by Grace Hogg-Robinson, Birdhouse, who will play Beth, the coroner's daughter; Oliver Gomm who will play Clint, the coroner's officer; Beatie Edney, Poldark, who will play Judith, Jane's mother; and Ivan Kaye, Layer Cake and Eastenders, who will play Mick, the pub landlord.
Jane is the advocate for the dead. Investigating any sudden, violent or unexplained deaths in the fictional world of Lighthaven, based on Salcombe. Together, Jane and Davey work for justice on a new story in each episode.
Claire Goose said she was very excited about working in the South Hams for the next few months.
'It's such a beautiful place, even more so at this time time of the year,' she said.
'I am incredibly excited and proud to be working on this new drama.'
Will Trotter is head of daytime drama and executive producer of The Coroner.
He said: 'We have created a real gem of a drama series with The Coroner and it's a reflection on the immense creative talent that exists at the BBC Birmingham Drama Village.
'I am thrilled that Claire and Matt are leading the cast, I just hope viewers share my enthusiasm for the drama and it becomes an appointment to view for them.'
Liam Keelan, director of scripted, BBC Worldwide, said: 'BBC Birmingham have a great track record in producing quality returnable drama such as Father Brown and Land Girls.
'With the writing talent of Sally Abbott and a great on-screen cast including Claire Goose, The Coroner is a very exciting prospect for BBC Worldwide to help realise.'
The Coroner will transmit on BBC1 in 2016.
