MILLIONS of viewers have been tuning in to see the new BBC drama 'The Sixth Commandment' - but did you spot any familiar faces?

BBC drama The Sixth Commandment is the latest chilling true crime drama to grace our screens.

The series recounts the crimes of former churchwarden Ben Field, who murdered an author in the sleepy Buckinghamshire town of Maids Moreton in 2015, before attempting to defraud the victim's elderly neighbour.

Field duped Peter Farquhar (Timothy Spall) and fellow senior citizen Ann Moore-Martin (Anne Reid) into false relationships as part of a scheme to get them to change their wills to include him.

Eagle-eyed viewers may have spotted none other than Fraser and Odette from Odette's Funeral Service based in Phelps Parade, Calne. Hearses and limousines were supplied by Odette for for some scenes in episodes 2 and 3 of the drama, and Odette and Fraser get screen time as they drive the vehicles to the crematorium.

Odette said: "It was a long old day but great experience and we had lunch with Eanne Hardwick and Adrian Rawlins at Flax Bourton, next to the Coroners Mortuary.

"It’s a brilliantly made dramatisation of true events, well worth a watch."
