Francis Hopkinson of Left Bank Pictures joined to discuss the UK adaptation of Henning Mankell’s Wallander starring Kenneth Brannagh. As executive producer of the series, Hopkinson was a key figure in the decision-making processes behind the programmes. He shared his unique overview of the programmes with us, took us all the way from the inspiration for the series to the finishing touches, and joined our discussion of imagery of Sweden in crime fiction. Introduced by Agnes Broome (UCL Scandinavian Studies).
