A CBeebies presenter and three lucky youngsters were spotted filming for a popular children’s TV show in Gorleston.
Presenter Ranger Hamza, a wildlife cameraman, explored the coastal town for a new children's TV series.
The film crew followed Mr Hamza and three children, chosen from a local school, around Gorleston on Tuesday, April 26.
Ahead of filming, David Frosdick, owner of B&D cycles in Lowestoft Road, was contacted by the production team who asked if they could use his shop as a backdrop.
On the day he also managed to get a photograph with Mr Hamza.
The 74-year-old who has been running the shop for 39-years said: “I knew they were coming because I was contacted a few weeks ago.
“They had noticed my shop and how nice the window looked, so they asked if they could do some filming outside.
