Police have asked the public to help them find scriptwriter Nick Fisher, after the BAFTA winner vanished earlier this week.
Nick, 61, was last spotted in Dorset village at around 4.30pm on Tuesday but has not been in contact with his friends or family - something Dorset Police describe as 'out of character' for the scriptwriter.
David Parr, of Dorset Police, has urged Nick to let his family know he is safe and well, as a hunt begins to find the missing writer.
Nick is described as five feet nine inches tall and of medium build with sandy coloured hair and tattoos on both arms. He left with a brown and white Springer Spaniel dog.
In the appeal for any information about his whereabouts, Nick is reported as last being seen in Hooke at around 4.30pm on Tuesday 15 November 2022. He left the area in a silver Nissan Navara truck with the registration number YE71 DFA.
Inspector David Parr, of Dorset Police, said: "Nick left the area unexpectedly and has not been in contact with family or friends, which is out of character.
"I would urge anyone who has seen Nick, or a man matching the description given, to please contact Dorset Police.
He added: "Also, I am appealing to anyone who has seen the vehicle either travelling in the area or parked up locally to please come forward.
"Finally, if you see this appeal Nick – please contact us or your family as we all just want to make sure you are safe and well."
Anyone with information or knowledge as to Nick’s whereabouts is asked to contact Dorset Police through their website, or by calling 101, quoting incident number 15:644.
On his personal website, Nick describes himself as "a BAFTA-winning TV scriptwriter and series creator with a diverse range of writing credits in film, radio, stage, print journalism and books."
His screenwriting credits include Hustle, EastEnders, Holby City and New Tricks.
