Eddie Redmayne gets back to work on the set of new series as he is seen for the first time since being handed £1,530 court bill after he was caught breaking London's 20mph speed limit

Eddie Redmayne got back to work on the set of his new series on Wednesday as he was seen for the first time since being handed a £1,530 court bill after he was caught breaking London's 20mph speed limit.

The Oscar-winning actor, 44, was clocked by a speed camera driving his Audi at 28mph along the A4 through Earl's Court at around 11am on October 14.

The star admitted being the speeding driver, but submitted the form to the police too late to avoid a criminal prosecution.

He pleaded guilty to the offence and was slapped with a £1,000 fine at a private court hearing last Wednesday.

Eddie received three penalty points on his licence and must also pay £130 in costs as well as a £400 victim surcharge.

But it was back to work as usual for him on Wednesday as he was seen in costume on the set of the second season of The Day of the Jackal in Budapest.

He was dressed in a beige coat and sported glasses as he was joined by a series of extras on set.

The new season is expected to shoot across London, Budapest, and Croatia, continuing the cat-and-mouse thriller from season one - which also starred Lashana Lynch.

This week it was revealed that Eddie had been handed a £1,530 court bill.

The actor, who won an Academy Award in 2015 for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, was not required to attend Westminster Magistrates' Court as his case was dealt with through the Single Justice Procedure.

Kensington and Chelsea Council announced in 2020 that it planned to introduce a 20mph limit to all its residential roads.

The A4 Cromwell Road - where he was caught out - became a 20mph limit in Autumn 2023.

He was among 450 motorists prosecuted by the Met last week for breaking one of London's 20mph zones, resulting in court fines ranging from £40 to the maximum £1,000 penalty. 

The Met submitted evidence including an image of his speeding Audi and said the star had been sent a notice of intended prosecution on October 20, six days after the offence.

The court records show the actor responded on March 1 this year, signing a form agreeing he had been the driver that day.

But a police official told the court his form had not arrived in time to avoid a court case.

She wrote: 'Due to the Late response to notice of intended prosecution, this case does not qualify for an out of court disposal and has therefore been referred to the prosecutions team for a single justice procedure notice to be issued.'
