Film star Colin Firth is set to return to Maldon after his first stint of filming in the town.

The Bridget Jones and Kings Speech actor was in Downs Road two weeks ago as cameras rolled for his latest project, which is about man who gives up everything to take part in a global yacht race.

Firth and the crew were on site for one day.

Filming is for the yet untitled Donald Crowhurst big screen biopic.
