Two months into the Gracepoint shoot, local newspaper the Times Colonist has published a piece on the impact of the production on the local community. It focuses on the village of Oak Bay on Vancouver Island, BC, which will double for the fictional Californian town of Gracepoint, scene of the shocking murder around which the drama centres. Locals have had to put up with sporadic periods of disruption as the shoot moves around to various locations, including Oak Bay Avenue, Oaks Restaurant and at a number of private houses. “I feel, as a business owner, they’re bringing a lot of awareness to the village,” said Bobb Hamilton, director of Red Art Gallery on Oak Bay Avenue. Mayor Nils Jensen added, “It’s because of the nature of the organization we’re dealing with. They’re highly professional and experienced. Most of those who have had complaints have been very well dealt with.”  David Tennant, who plays lead investigator Detective Emmett Carver, has also caused a stir.

A couple of promotional shots of David Tennant as Emmett Carver in Gracepoint have been released. Gracepoint is the Fox TV remake of Broadchurch. The 10-part event series is closely adapted from the original UK series with David reprising the role of the lead detective charged with solving the murder of a young boy in a sleepy seaside community.

David Tennant has given an interview to Mansha Daswani of Worldscreen as part of their MIPTV preview. David talks about appearing in the multi-award winning  Broadchurch , reprising the lead role in the FOX remake  Gracepoint (currently filming in Canada) and about returning to Doctor Who  and the stage last year.  WS:  When you were first approached about Broadchurch, what appealed to you about the project? TENNANT:  I had previously worked with Chris Chibnall [the creator of Broadchurch] on both Doctor Who and on his TV movie United, about the Manchester United Munich air disaster. So I knew Chris well, I knew his work well and I knew that it would be a script worth reading. James Strong is a director I’ve worked with many times, again on Doctor Who and on United. So the fact that it was them approaching me meant that I was all the more inclined to be part of it. And then I read [the script] and thought, this is fantastic—a brilliantly drawn portrait of a terrible event

The debate about the future of the BBC is not helped when Ian Fletcher's salary comes under intense scrutiny in the press - why should the BBC's head of value
