Robson Green reunited with an old friend from the North East in the second episode of his new BBC Two Weekend Escapes series.
The second episode on Tuesday saw Robson head to Teesside, a part of the North East he's "not so familiar with", to meet up with fellow actor Mark Benton on the actor's home turf. Hexham-born Robson, 58, and Mark, 57, born in Guisborough in North Yorkshire, first starred together on screen in the 2004 ITV film Christmas Lights, which spawned the spin-off series Northern Lights and City Lights.
Robson put Mark, who has been making regular trips back to his home town to visit his family for more than 25 years, in charge of the itinerary for the weekend. The pair met up in Middlesbrough and hit the road to head to Saltburn Beach for ice cream, before spending the night at the Hobbit-inspired North Shire campsite in Liverton.
