The set of a Star Wars spin off TV show which was partly shot in a remote Buckinghamshire village has been demolished.
Andor, which stars actors such as Forrest Whitaker and Diego Luna, had been recorded within the county, but its exact location is not known.

Shooting for its next season started in November last year and was due to be completed by the end of this month.
However, due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike which began in July, production has been halted and it is not known when it will resume.
According to officials, shooting for the second series is only halfway completed, but a decision has been made to dismantle the current unused set.

This set is separate to the one that was installed near the Spade Oak Nature Reserve in Little Marlow in the autumn of 2020.
A representative from Buckinghamshire Council said: "Filming at Spade Oak was in 2021, with the temporary film set being removed shortly after filming finished.
"However, it's possible that the Star Wars series Andor (series 2) set has recently been removed from a site in Buckinghamshire, but we're not aware of where this site is, as it's definitely not on Buckinghamshire Council land."
