This is Thomas Hardy country: he understood and wrote about this savage, beautiful scenery better than anyone. Broadchurch is peppered with references to his work, from the name of David Tennant’s character, Alec Hardy, to the name of the local police force, Wessex Police. There are more embedded in the second series too. Then there’s the cast, headed by Olivia Colman and Tennant. I wrote the part of Ellie for Olivia – I’m not sure what we’d have done if she’d turned us down. Thankfully, she didn’t, and it has been a privilege to write for TELEVISION an actress who’s capable of anything you throw at her. She’s also a wonderful person to have on set: funny and relaxed when the cameras aren’t rolling; incredibly serious WATCHING about her work the second shooting starts.

  • The Changing Topography of Contemporary French Policier in Visual and Narrative Media
    Deathly Landscapes: The Changing Topography of Contemporary French Policier in Visual and Narrative Media DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paige M. Piper, M.A. Graduate Program in French and Italian The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret C. Flinn, Advisor Jennifer Willging Patrick Bray Copyrighted by Paige M. Piper 2016 Abstract This dissertation explores spatio-temporal shifts in twenty-first century French crime narratives, through a series of close readings of contemporary crime films, television, literature, and comics. The works examined rely on the formal properties of the policier genre but adapt its standard conventions, most notably with deviations in the use and function of space. In this dissertation, I demonstrate that the modern policier is one that embraces its spatio-temporal, social, and generic non-fixity. The textual/visual constructions of many hyper-contemporary crime narratives contain multiple modes of decomposition within: a decentralization of space, which moves the action away from the genre’s traditionally urban location to boundless rural spaces and border zones; a de- concentration of the policier genre, through the incorporation of tropes from other literary styles and works; and a devolution of social cohesion and community identity in the narratives. Chapter 1 examines works where historic references and urban legends of the 19th century fantastique literary genre unfold in modern rural locations. The past and the present converge to problematize modern ideals, identity, and community unity in rural spaces where reason is pitted against the supernatural.

Investigating sound: Visual and aural style from Broadchurch to Gracepoint AMANDA KEELER: Marquette University ABSTRACT Using Broadchurch and its American version Gracepoint as a case study, this article explores the aesthetic relationship between these two television programmes through an analysis of their visual and aural styles. The increasing proliferation of television-to-television adaptations and remakes necessitates revisiting the terminology to assess how it accommodates methodological approaches that extend beyond cross-cultural analyses. As narrative content and style are inextricably connected, this article attends to the complexity of employing existing terms to analyse the new version of a programme that simultaneously replicates and departs from the style and tone of its predecessor. KEYWORDS Television, adaptation, remake, format, sound, aesthetics In March 2013 ITV began airing the crime drama Broadchurch (2013–17), which television critic Mike Hale describes as ‘a moody, slow-moving, complicated crime story with damaged heroes and not much redemption to go around’ (2013).

  • The Impact of Broadchurch on Businesses in West Dorset
    THE IMPACT OF BROADCHURCH ON TOURISM BUSINESSES IN WEST DORSET APRIL-OCTOBER 2013 A REPORT PREPARED FOR WEST DORSET AND WEYMOUTH & PORTLAND SHARED SERVICES PARTNERSHIP JANUARY 2014 PREPARED BY DR JOANNE CONNELL The Impact of Broadchurch on Business in West Dorset 2013 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author would like to thank staff in the Tourism team at West Dorset and Weymouth & Portland Shared Services Partnership for their support in completing this project, and in particular, James Maidment for assistance in distributing the questionnaires for this project and for providing relevant information to inform this study. In addition, the contribution of businesses in completing questionnaires was much appreciated. 2 The Impact of Broadchurch on Business in West Dorset 2013 THE IMPACT OF BROADCHURCH ON BUSINESS IN WEST DORSET 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Achieving viewing figures of between 7-10 million per episode during an eight-week period in early 2013, Broadchurch was a highly successful TV drama series filmed in part in and around the West Bay area. The series stimulated huge interest in the filming location from the viewing public and the national media, alongside a number of initiatives set up by West Dorset and Weymouth & Portland Shared Services Partnership to harness the marketing opportunities presented by the portrayal of the locality on national television. Anecdotal evidence identified a rise in the number of people visiting Bridport and West Bay seeking the ‘real’ Broadchurch. The profile of the area as a visitor destination increased significantly and with immediate effect. This study reports on the extent to which Broadchurch impacted on tourism-related businesses in West Bay, Bridport and the surrounding area.
