Landscapes in the frame: exploring the hinterlands of the British procedural drama
TLDR
In the wake of the much discussed phenomenon of so-called Nordic Noir, the significance of landscape in relation to the police procedural has had something of a small-screen renaissance as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
In the wake of the much discussed phenomenon of so-called ‘Nordic Noir’, the significance of landscape in relation to the police procedural has had something of a small-screen renaissance. In this paper, I discuss this with specific reference to recent productions set and filmed in Britain. Broadchurch (ITV, 2013–present) shot in West Dorset, Southcliffe (Channel 4, 2013) filmed in and around Faversham and the North Kent marshes, and Y Gwyll/Hinterland (S4C/BBC, 2013) filmed in and around the Welsh coastal resort of Aberystwyth in Ceredigion, all share something of a ‘post-Nordic-noir’ family resemblance insofar as landscape and location are themselves presented as central characters, prompting reflection on what these narratives reveal about ideas of place and the role of topography and landscape in the cultural imaginary of the British procedural drama.read more
