Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch put on a quirky display as they skipped through the streets of Devon while filming their new Netflix hit.
The two British acting titans were spotted North Sands Beach in Salcombe in Devon shooting for The Roses – a new Netflix version of the 1989 film The War of the Roses.
Olivia, 50, appeared in top spirits as she threw her arms around in the air while wearing a red silky shirt which detailed blue flowers and bananas.
Meanwhile Sherlock star Benedict, 47, rocked a new look with a curly fringe full of caramel highlights.
The pair were seen acting out a scene set at a seaside cafe We’ve Got Crabs.

Benedict was stood looking glum outside the seafood bistro as Olivia was spotted running away from the establishment and into a mucky BMW.
The synopsis says: ‘Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Theo (Benedict) and Ivy (Olivia): successful careers, great kids, an enviable sex life.
‘But underneath the façade of the perfect family is a tinderbox of competition and resentments that’s ignited when Theo’s professional dreams come crashing down.’
Similar to the previous on-screen iteration, this new film will once again be based on Warren Adler’s 1981 novel, while it will be adapted by Tony McNamara.
Benedict will also produce the film through his SunnyMarch company, alongside Olivia with her South of the River Productions partners Ed Sinclair and Tom Carver.
‘The Roses is a wildly funny, bigger than life, and yet deeply human story,’ said Searchlight president Matthew Greenfield.
‘With Jay at the helm, and Benedict and Olivia and Tony, we have a dream team bringing it to life,’ he added.
The original film version starred Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner and was directed by Danny DeVito.

The War Of The Roses, directed by Danny DeVito and released in 1989, was nominated for a BAFTA as well as three Golden Globe Awards
It was nominated for a BAFTA as well as three Golden Globe Awards.
Their appearance in the southern county comes just weeks after Benedict lifted the lid on his wild karaoke night with his friends Olivia , Amy Adams and Melissa McCarthy after the 2019 BAFTAs.
He gave fans some insight into what happens at star-studded award shows after parties.
Speaking to Zoe Ball on Radio 2 on in May, Benedict shared that there was a lively karaoke get together after Olivia’s 2019 BAFTA Best Actress win for The Favourite.
He also revealed that Bridesmaids star Melissa, 53, was on his case about giving a good performance on the mic – as she joked she would ‘kill him’ if he ended up being a good singer.
‘I went up to Melissa McCarthy and I went: “I’m really not very good” and she went “If you’re, IF YOU’RE GOOD I’m gonna kill you,’ he laughed. ‘I went “I’m not and I’m terrified, all these people”.’
Benedict said the epic karaoke session had happened after his friend Olivia picked up the big award – which he was watching in his bed on TV.
He said: ‘I was in my pyjamas and they rang me and said “Where are you?” and I went “Ahh, okay'” and just literally got into the clothes, went out and ended up in a basement somewhere, I think in a hotel in Soho that was hosting an after party and there was a big karaoke thing, which Olivia loves and that cast of that brilliant film love.
‘And there was an amazing bunch of people in there. We were all lined up, we all had to put a song in.

‘I thought “Oh Christ, do I do this? I mean I’ve just woken? Alright, fine” – Young Americans (David Bowie) in.’
But just before Benedict’s turn, he said, was Enchanted star Amy, 49 – whose career started out in musical theatre.
‘I completely forgot obviously she started out in that world,’ Benedict said of Amy’s karaoke performance. ‘And then it was my turn and I… (laughs) and I thought “God I’ve really got to go for it”.
‘Melissa McCarthy was just standing by a pillar going “I’m gonna kill you. I’m gonna kill you” because I did give it my all.’
