Top Gear's Richard Hammond made a dramatic landing in a helicopter on Tunbridge Wells Common this week.

The 39-year-old television presenter was filming a scene in the town for supermarket chain Morrisons' Christmas television commercial.

Part of Calverley Grounds was transformed on Tuesday with a blanket of fake snow, iced-topped trees, a fun fair and ice rink. On Wednesday the focus turned to the Pantiles for yet more filming involving the Hamster and his trolley.

It is believed fellow celebrity face of Morrisons, Denise Van Outen, will be filming in the Pantiles tonight.
