    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.

  • Everything Goes Back to the Beginning: Television Adaptation & Remaking
    Everything Goes Back to the Beginning: television adaptation & remaking Nordic noir Abstract: As television drama undergoes a renaissance across Europe and the US, this article focuses on remakes of ‘Nordic noir’ crime serials. The genre has its origins in contemporary literary fiction, and became a cinema cause célèbre with the Swedish adaptations of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium novels, and the controversial US remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. While adaptation scholars have long discredited comparative approaches based on the source/target text binary organised along value-judgement lines, in terms of television remakes, the opposite is fast becoming the case; comparisons between different versions of the same narrative becomes playful and almost vital aspect of contemporary adaptation. While some theorists have argued that remakes often attempt to efface previous versions, in television, the opposite can be true. In examining the remakes of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Forbrydelsen (The Killing), Broen/Bron (The Bridge & The Tunnel) and Broadchurch (Gracepoint), this article proposes that a new type of ‘synchronous’ or ‘active’ adaptation invites some audiences to engage in a far more playful exchange of textual moments, augmented and overseen by social media, and that television remakes are now reflecting this. Back to the Beginning. 1. Contributor’s Details: Richard Berger is Associate Professor of Media and Education, at the Centre for Excellence in Media Practice (CEMP), Bournemouth University, UK. Richard is editor of the Media Education Research Journal (MERJ) and has written widely on adaptation and has presented at many European and US Conferences. Keywords: television, adaptation, active, remake, Nordic noir.

    Broadchurch Breaks Prove Popular Ahead of the highly anticipated return of Broadchurch this evening (27th February 2017), leading self-catering holiday company cottages.com predicts a surge of bookings to the region by holidaymakers inspired by the locations seen in the show. Simon Norton at cottages.com said: “Broadchurch has become one of the biggest events in the television calendar and has had a clear influence on where people decide to go on holiday in the UK.

What’s more, almost a third (31%) of the breaks booked to Bridport that year, where the show is filmed, were booked whilst the show was on our screens.

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.
