Great British Bake-off host Noel Fielding has been seen in Cornwall in an outlandish outfit - this time filming the latest series of his Dick Turpin show.
Bake Off host Noel, 51, was pictured in Charlestown in Cornwall in his full outfit for the Apple TV+ series.
The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin is currently filming its second series.
One onlooker said: ''Noel was in full costume as Dick Turpin.
''But because of the way he normally dresses people probably thought he was on holiday and popping to the shops.''
The first season of The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin was an absurdist, surreal and wonderfully ridiculous one, only somewhat based on Dick Turpin lore, following Dick as he embarked on a series of wild escapades when he’s made the reluctant leader of a band of outlaws.
A vegan and a pacifist, Fielding’s Turpin makes for an unlikely antihero, his success in highway robbing coming more from his flamboyant charm and excellent wardrobe than his stealth or cunning.
He meets his match when he’s tasked with outwitting the corrupt lawman and Thief Taker General Jonathan Wilde who will stop at nothing to catch Dick and bring him to justice.
Hot on Turpin’s heels throughout the series is Hugh Bonneville’s Thief Taker General Jonathan Wilde, who in real life operated on both sides of the law, posing as a vigilante criminal-catcher while simultaneously running his own empire of crime and using his role to get rid of his rivals.
The universality of the comedy in Dick Turpin is exemplified by the wonderful array of British comedic talent in the cast.
There’s Friday Night Dinner’s Tamsin Greig and Mark Heap; The Windsors’ and Stath Lets Flats’ Ellie White; stand-up and TV comic Joe Wilkinson; the Nativity! films’ Marc Wootton; Taskmaster’s Greg Davies; and People Just Do Nothing’s Asim Chaudhry, to name but a few.
