The Coroner

I think I read that it was actually filmed in Cornwall.

Just watched it yesterday evening. Looks promising, doesn't it? Good cast, characters and plot and the scenery didn't hurt either. Will watch again.

I enjoyed it, too. Thought it might be a bit 'soft', as in most daytime dramas, but it looks quite promising.

I watched it. Thought it not bad at all for a daytime drama. I wondered where it was filmed too-thought perhaps Kingsbridge or Dartmouth. To me it looked more "Devon" than "Cornwall". Pretty, though.

I do not normally watch daytime TV but decided to try this, I enjoyed it, and nicely timed straight after The Archers.

I have read a book with the same title By MR Hall it is a series of books featuring a female coroner called jenny cooper of which I have read several.
If this is the same series the setting in the books where on the Welsh/English borders....I will look forward if so to watching this as I enjoy reading the different situations she gets into.

I have read those dte and enjoyed them although they are a bit dark. I will also check up on the series on TV which had passed me by.

I have just googled and I don't think it can be based on the books and reviews aren't very flattering. Will give it a go though.

Yes, I enjoyed it too. Good to have a bit of drama in the afternoon as opposed to endless property and cookery programs to entertain those that do watch daytime.

Last week it had been given a good write up. I have recorded it so I am looking forward to watching it.

My mistake, it's filmed around Totnes and the coast at Dartmouth, don't know where I got Cornwall from!

Thought it was Dartmouth...Torquay was in it too-you could see the Big Wheel in some shots.

The review in today's Mail wasn't so good. The reviewer said the burly bar bloke was the Coroner's father in law-I thought he was her mum's boyfriend?

Boyfriend

I too think bar bloke is mum's boyfriend! I am not sure that in real life Coroners behave like this! She is more like a policewoman.
I do like the programmes though - gentle watching; reminds me of Doc Martin (similar music) and Bergerac! Lovely scenery and interesting characters. We recorded it to watch in the evening.

Well I've really enjoyed The Coroner for the last couple of weeks. Ideal afternoon viewing I think and lovely scenery. Claire Goose looks lovely when she's dressed up for court and sticks to the non frilly clothes that I like. The only thing that spoils it is her pantomime mother. Why can't a grandmother be shown as smart and clever? And why does she have to go round shrieking about her sex life like a fourteen year old schoolgirl?

I wish !!! ?

I'm enjoying it on catchup as I don't watch daytime tv

It's replaced by Dr Blake Mysteries today.
I'm looking forward to seeing that. DH and I both enjoyed the last series.

I enjoyed it very much, especially as I live in south Devon and recognised where some of the scenes were shot. Definitely Dartmouth, Shaldon, Salcombe, Teignmouth, Torquay, around the south Hams.... etc . I thought it showed off our lovely county with great effect. And I liked the story-lines and the actors too. I hope there is another series.

Glad to see Dr Blake back. I loved the first two series. It gives such a different view of Australia if you're like me and only know it through Neighbours.
