A Channel 5 programme which was filmed in Norfolk will appear on TV this month.
The county was used as a location for the show, Sam & Ade Go Birding.
It features actors Samuel West, who has starred in All Creatures Great and Small and Slow Horses, and Adrian Edmondson, from the Young Ones and Bottom, as they travel the country on a birdwatching quest.
During the three-part series, the pair will visit north Norfolk looking for brent and pink-footed geese.

Other locations they have filmed at include west Cornwall, looking for Cornish Choughs, and the Somerset Levels, where they stake out kingfishers, egrets and the bittern.
For West, birding is a long-standing passion - he has been recording his sightings for 20 years and has now seen more than 400 British species.
The hobby is something new for the comedy star Edmondson.
“Watching birds is a simple pleasure," West said. "At heart, it’s an invitation to connect with the natural world.
"All you need is a desire to look, listen and enjoy.
"A pair of binoculars helps; a friend to share it with makes it even better.
"I’m thrilled that we get to invite the audience along with us on our travels; they’ve already proved how tasteful and clever they are by liking All Creatures Great and Small so much."
Edmondson added: "I don’t know how I got to be this old without knowing more about birds.
"It feels like a huge hole in my education. Sam is going to fill me in. And…we get to go to the pub!”
The series has been compared to the BBC's Gone Fishing, which also features Norfolk locations.
The programme will be broadcast on April 14 on Channel 5.
