Thursday Murders Club Film Filming Location

話題沸騰中の Thursday Murders Club Film Filming Locationについて、多角的な視点をご紹介しています。

One of the most surprising facts? The lake used for a climactic scene is actually a man-made reservoir on the Wrotham Park estate. They had to drain part of it to film safely, which means the murder weapon was probably retrieved by a guy in waders holding a net. Think of the expense: “Sorry, ducks, you’ll have to swim in the next pond over—Helen Mirren is about to solve a crime.”

And get this: the entire interior of “Coopers Chase” was built on a soundstage at Pinewood Studios. That’s right—the cozy common room, the dining hall, and the murder board were all fake. But the books on the shelves? Those were real, and the prop master apparently used actual antique books from a charity shop. Because nothing says “murder mystery” like a 1973 copy of How to Knit a Cardigan.

The Real Hero: The Bus

Let’s talk about the bus. You know, the one that chugs around the retirement village in the show? That’s a real vintage bus, a 1960s Bristol Lodekka, brought in from a transport museum. It cost more to insure than the lead actors’ wigs. The driver had to retake his test three times because the narrow lanes around Wrotham Park are basically goat paths with tarmac.

Imagine the logistics: “We need the bus to arrive at exactly 3 PM, but only if the swans have moved from the driveway.” Yes, there are actual swans. They live on the lake. They are paid in breadcrumbs and are unionized.
