The offices of a firm of Helston solicitors were transformed into a police station when a German film crew came calling recently.

While staff at Furse Sanders in Meneage Street did not get the chance to take on starring roles, or even get a part as an extra, their workplace itself took centre stage, albeit after a bit of a make-over.

Their offices, inside and out, became a police station in a German film crew's latest adaptation of a Rosamunde Pilcher novel. Filming also took place outdoors in Coinagehall Street.
