A body has been found at the Frontierland site in Morecambe - but don't worry, it was just as part of a TV cliff-hanger!
The human remains were uncovered at the end of Episode 4 of the television series The Bay, which is filmed in Morecambe.
Viewers praised the gritty episode of the hit crime drama, which saw widowed father-of-four Dean Metcalf (played by Joe Armstrong) and a fellow workman make the gruesome discovery while working on the Frontierland site.
The scenes which aired on Wednesday night on ITV1 were filmed at the former Wild West theme park last year.
The land on Marine Road West in Morecambe has been derelict for 23 years since the fairground closed in 2000.
The sight of diggers moving in to the Frontierland site to start work on a new development, mirrored the hopes of many local people who have been waiting for the site to be developed in real life.
Landowners Lancaster City Council have recently been asking for ideas or 'expressions of interest' on how to develop the land.


Viewers took to social media to praise last night's episode, which was written by Lancaster-based Daragh Carville.
Fabulous episode again. So many twists #TheBay

Watching The Bay brings back memories 😢 mum used to sit by the clock tower waiting for gala bingo to open. She often text me to say it was a lovely afternoon and she was sat by the clock. I know she was happy there. #TheBay
