Jane Horrocks looked almost unrecognisable on Sunday as she was pictured on the set of Stuntman for the first time in Derbyshire.
The Absolutely Fabulous actress, 59, donned a long teal coat lined with fur as she wrapped up warm.
Jane looked very different to her days on the BBC show, with her hair in plaits and bright blue eyeshadow.
She added cowboy boots, a long denim skirt and a large copper bag for an eccentric look – 30 years on from the first episode of Ab Fab.
Jane is set to star alongside The Fast Show’s John Thomson in Stuntman, which is directed by real-life stunt daredevil Damien Walters.

Meanwhile a large-scale scaffolding was set up along the side of a building, ready for the stunts to be performed.
The actors were snapped already getting underway with the risky manoeuvres, as Jane kept her feet firmly on the ground.
Last year Jane accused television producers of ‘churning out’ the same actors for leading roles.
Quizzed on how she felt about Olivia Colman, Keeley Hawes and Lily James being handed all the coveted telly gigs while at The Space event in Brighton, she responded: ‘And Sarah Lancashire.’
She continued: ‘I think it’s a bit limiting for the audience to see the same crowd always coming on.
‘I just feel sorry for the audience really that the commissioners and the producers are so short-sighted that they have to keep churning out the same people.
‘They do an amazing job and if they’re being offered the roles then, of course, you take them,’ she said, before adding that she deems this to be ‘slightly dull.’
Elsewhere during the discussion, Jane, who also starred in the 90s musical film Little Voice, admitted she’s always been nervous with ‘sexy’ roles and described herself as ‘not very good at them.’

Absolutely Fabulous, also known as Ab Fab, was created by Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.
Jane took on the role of Bubble – Edina (Jennifer Saunders’) ‘utterly brainless personal assistant’ – and Katy Grin, and starred alongside the likes of Joanna Lumley and Julia Sawalha.
The first three series ran from 1992 to 1995, with a two-part series finale airing in 1996.
It was revived for two more series and two 60-minute specials which aired from 2001 to 2004.
Then in 2011 and 2012, three new episodes, collectively titled Absolutely Fabulous: 20th Anniversary, were released.
Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie – the de facto series finale for the show – hit cinemas in 2016.
