Alibi detective drama Annika<\/a>, led by Unforgotten<\/a>\u00a0star Nicola Walker, has made its official debut, surprising viewers with its light-hearted feel and frequent\u00a0fourth-wall breaking.<\/p>\n In the series premiere, we not only meet titular police detective Annika Strandhed (Walker) but also glimpse the beautiful Scottish coastline that\u2019s invariably behind her in each shot.<\/p>\n That\u2019s because Annika heads up a Marine Homicide Unit based in Scotland, where she and her team help investigate and solve waterway and\u00a0sea-based murders.<\/p>\n In addition to Walker, the cast also includes Jamie Lives (Guilt), Katie Leung (The Nest), and Ukweli Roach (Blindspot).\u00a0If you want more of an insight into the series, make sure to read our spoiler-free Annika review<\/a>.<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know about where Alibi procedural drama Annika was filmed.<\/p> The popular Radio 4 programme on which the TV series is based was set is Oslo, but the new Alibi production has relocated the story to the Glasgow area in Scotland.<\/p>\n The titular detective, played by Nicola Walker (who also voiced the radio version of the character), is introduced to the viewer as the new head of a specialist Marine Homicide Unit somewhere in Scotland (it\u2019s left unspecified, at least in episode one).<\/p>\n The Scottish coastline \u2013 the series was shot in various locations, including the West Coast seaside village of Largs \u2013 is a character in itself in Annika, providing our heroine with a stunning (albeit sometimes rainy) backdrop to her murder investigations.<\/p>\n In episode one, the central theme of the sea (and potential \u2018monsters\u2019 lurking both above and below the waterline) is made clear when we\u2019re introduced to our first murder victim: a boat business owner, killed by means of a harpoon to the head, and whom Annika compares to Moby Dick (\u201cEveryone goes mad and no one even knows if the whale dies or not. One thing I do know? This great white whale definitely did.\u201d)<\/p>\n Filming locations in and around Glasgow (a port city in the west of Scotland) included River Clyde, and Bridge Street; and further out in southern Scotland,\u00a0Loch Lomond.<\/p>\n The official Twitter page for Loch Lomond Shores previously announced the beauty spot\u2019s inclusion in the series, revealing that filming took place \u201cearlier this year\u201d.<\/p>\n We’re going to be on TV! ???? ????
