  • Film Tourism: What Is It, and How Can You Maximise the Beneits? Introduction
    Film Tourism: What is it, and how can you maximise the beneits? Introduction Film and TV production in the UK is on the rise. Production in 2014 was up a massive 35% from the year before to the highest ever recorded level. The vast majority of this growth has been spurred on by inward investment from international productions. Supported by a competitive tax credit regime for ilm and television drama, even more productions are expected to ilm here in the coming years, meaning that audiences around the world will see more of the UK’s rich and varied locations on screen than ever before. This ilm tourism toolkit provides guidance and case studies for potential ilm locations on how to maximise the potential of ilm tourism. New College Cloisters, Oxford where Harry Potter was ilmed © VisitEngland, VisitOxfordshire Alnwick Castle The Tourism Opportunity Film and TV productions can be a powerful way to add proile to a nation’s tourism ofer, both at home and abroad - they can help to showcase a country’s natural and cultural assets; inform, inspire and inluence travel decisions and help to market and grow local visitor economies. Creative England, in association with VisitEngland and Olsberg SPI, recently produced a new report to identify the value of ilm and television tourism to England and explore how local areas can capitalise on this growing phenomenon. Victoria Baths, Manchester © Mark Payne Key Findings • International core screen tourism in England (outside of London) was worth between £100 million-£140 million in 2014. • All eight locations at which surveys were carried were found to be attracting international or domestic visitors who said they would not have travelled there if they had not seen the associated ilm or television drama.

  • “My” Hero Or Epic Fail? Torchwood As Transnational Telefantasy
    “My” Hero or Epic Fail? Torchwood as Transnational Telefantasy Melissa Beattie1 Recibido: 2016-09-19 Aprobado por pares: 2017-02-17 Enviado a pares: 2016-09-19 Aceptado: 2017-03-23 DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Para citar este artículo / to reference this article / para citar este artigo Beattie, M. (2017). “My” hero or epic fail? Torchwood as transnational telefantasy. Palabra Clave, 20(3), 722-762. DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Abstract Telefantasy series Torchwood (2006–2011, multiple production partners) was industrially and paratextually positioned as being Welsh, despite its frequent status as an international co-production. When, for series 4 (sub- titled Miracle Day, much as the miniseries produced as series 3 was subti- tled Children of Earth), the production (and diegesis) moved primarily to the United States as a co-production between BBC Worldwide and Amer- ican premium cable broadcaster Starz, fan response was negative from the announcement, with the series being termed Americanised in popular and academic discourse. This study, drawn from my doctoral research, which interrogates all of these assumptions via textual, industrial/contextual and audience analysis focusing upon ideological, aesthetic and interpretations of national identity representation, focuses upon the interactions between fan cultural capital and national cultural capital and how those interactions impact others of the myriad of reasons why the (re)glocalisation failed. It finds that, in part due to the competing public service and commercial ide- ologies of the BBC, Torchwood was a glocalised text from the beginning, de- spite its positioning as Welsh, which then became glocalised again in series 4.

Leading Once this landscape gets into you, it doesn’t let go. The cliffs, the lady Olivia Colman endless sea, the fi elds that roll right up to the beach. 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. In David Tennant, we found the perfect male counterpart: an extra ordinary actor, THE DETECTIVES also capable of the switch from emotion to ITV’s atmospheric crime dramaBroadchurch humour in the blink of an eye. They both possess such humanity, empathy and returns for a second series in January.warmth, as actors and as people.
