In the advert, Allen's character groggily asks where she is after waking up on a bus, before a woman replies: "You're in Margate, babes."

The trailer later shows a topless man wearing an inflatable doughnut hopping off the coach as a passer-by shouts: "Get out the way."

It features shots of Margate's Main Sands, the Turner Contemporary Gallery and Walpole Bay tidal pool.

Former Doctor Who actress Freema Agyeman also stars in the comedy series as Mel's older sister.

Samantha Bond, who played Moneypenny in four James Bond films, will appear in one of the six episodes.

During filming last summer, eagle-eyed fans spotted 37-year-old Allen alongside husband David Harbour enjoying the town's sunny weather.

Harbour, who is best known for playing Jim Hopper in Netflix's Stranger Things, was also seen at Margate Escape Rooms.
