Scarborough is to play a leading role in a new television film starring Men Behaving Badly duo Martin Clunes and Neil Morrissey.
Clunes is also the director of Hunting Venus, a comedy film recreating the heady days of the New Romantic era - when geometric hairstyles, frilly shirts and suede Tukka boots were de rigueur.
Morrissey appears as never seen before in the Buffalo Pictures and Yorkshire Television co-production, starring as former pop star Charlie who has undergone a sex change and become Charlotte.
Five weeks of filming got under way today around London. The crew will move to Scarborough and other locations in the North for the final week.
Clunes plays conman Simon Delancey, one-time frontman of the new wave band The Venus Hunters, who is trying to flee Britain before police catch up with him.
But his escape plan is thwarted when he is kidnapped by two lesbian fans.
Ewan McGregor was back in Scarborough over the weekend filming scenes for The Rise And Fall Of Little Voice.
