The series, which has been based on Thorogood\u2019s book of the same name<\/a>, stars Samantha Bond as Judith Potts, a woman who becomes convinced that she has heard a murder taking place at her neighbour\u2019s house in Marlow.<\/p>\n Throughout the series, she then teams up with Jo Martin\u2019s Suzie Harris and Cara Horgan\u2019s Becks Starling in order to crack the case \u2013 much to the annoyance of police detective Tanika Malik, played by Natalie Dew.<\/p>\n The series takes place entirely in Marlow, but just where was it filmed? Read on for everything you need to know about the locations used for The Marlow Murder Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Marlow Murder Club is, as you\u2019d imagine given the title, set entirely in and around the country town of Marlow<\/strong>, which is situated in Buckinghamshire along the River Thames.<\/p>\n It also happens to be the hometown of Robert Thorogood, the show\u2019s creator and the writer of the novel on which it is based.<\/p>\n Specific locations within Marlow which were used for filming include the banks of the River Thames, All Saints Church, Marlow High Street and the Marlow Suspension Bridge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Filming also took place during the annual Marlow Rowing Regatta<\/strong>, and genuine local Marlow homes were used for scenes set all across the town.<\/p>\n RadioTimes.com<\/a> went on the set of The Marlow Murder Club during filming, and spoke with the cast alongside other press to find out just what it was like shooting in Marlow, and why it was the perfect setting for this story.<\/p>\n Cara Horgan, who plays Becks, said the town is \u201cabsolutely picturesque middle England\u201d, and that it therefore works as a juxtaposition with the \u201cdark\u201d and \u201creally gruesome\u201d goings on in the plot<\/a>.<\/p>\n Judith star Samantha Bond added of Marlow, where she admitted she had never been before: \u201cIt\u2019s adorable, it\u2019s absolutely one of the most beautiful towns. It\u2019s got lovely restaurants, you can go into pubs that were built in the 1500s \u2013 I think the oldest one, where I did actually have a glass of wine before I first went in the Thames, that is from 1471 or something.<\/p>\n \u201cSo its history really is immense, which also makes me think, which hadn\u2019t occurred to me before, that actually it\u2019s the place where Judith would be very happy. Because it\u2019s old, it\u2019s historical, and of course we\u2019ve had this amazing weather, so it\u2019s looked beautiful.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s this perfect picture, this idyllic bit of England, and then you\u2019ve got something quite sinister going on.\u201d<\/p>\n The show\u2019s creator Robert Thorogood also explained why he decided to set his books<\/a>, on which the series is based, in Marlow in the first place.<\/p>\n He told RadioTimes.com<\/strong> and other press while on set: \u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in murder mysteries, and when I came up with Death in Paradise, I knew that we had to film it in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were under some pressure, or there was certainly a conversation to try and film it in South Africa, because this is back in 2009, where in South Africa, they\u2019ve got the crew, you\u2019re on the same time zone. It felt like a more manageable thing.<\/p>\n \u201cBut Tony Jordan, who\u2019s the brilliant person who owns Red Planet, who really is the father of Death in Paradise as much as I am because he just forced the BBC into making it through his sheer will of personality, he and I just said, \u2018It\u2019s got to be in the Caribbean because for a light-hearted murder mystery, which is ostensibly silly, setting is absolutely everything.’\u201d<\/p> He continued: \u201cSo, when I was trying to come up with a new show slightly nearer to home, I just thought, \u2018Well, what is a quintessential British or English murder mystery?\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019ve got St Mary Mead, the Agatha Christie, Jane Marple, which is sort of southwest of us heading down towards Hampshire way, and you\u2019ve got Morse up in Oxford and Endeavour<\/a> up in Oxford, and you\u2019ve got Grantchester<\/a> murders in Cambridge.<\/p>\n \u201cWe all know what it should look like, and there are towns like that around, and I just thought, \u2018But so is Marlow<\/span>, and I know Marlow<\/span> really well.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cSo rather than doing research by getting on an aeroplane flying to the Caribbean, I can just go out my front door and turn left or turn right.<\/p>\n \u201cAll of the locations in The Marlow<\/span> Murder Club were real in the book, so it\u2019s been really weird watching them actually hire the places like All Saints Church, which is described in the book.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re now filming at All Saints Church and so it\u2019s a natural fit, because it is where it was written and that is where we\u2019re filming it.\u201d<\/p>\nWhere was The Marlow Murder Club filmed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
