Vectis Police have launched a crime scene investigation at Whale Chine this morning (Monday) – but things aren’t quite as they seem.
The fictitious force has a number of vehicles parked up at the Military Road car park as part of the filming for The Beast Must Die.
Island Echo readers have been in touch to report the activity, but investigations have confirmed that there is nothing to worry about.
The Beast Must Die is being produced by New Regency Television and Ridley Scott’s Scott Free Films and tells the story of a grieving mother who infiltrates the life of the man she believes killed her son. It is a BritBox original and an adaption of the 1938 novel by Nicholas Blake – the assumed name of poet Cecil Day-Lewis, father of Daniel Day-Lewis.
Islanders can expect to see the locally-filmed series on Britbox at some point in 2021.
Vectis Police as a ring to it.
Wonder if this fake police takes an hour to respond to crimes in process like the real police does.
