Wallander (UK TV series)
''Wallander'' is a British television series adapted from the Swedish novelist Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallander novels and starring Kenneth Branagh as the eponymous police inspector. The first three-episode series, produced by Yellow Bird, Left Bank Pictures and TKBC for BBC Scotland, was broadcast on BBC One from November to December 2008. It is the first time the ''Wallander'' novels have been adapted into an English-language production. Yellow Bird, formed by Mankell, began negotiations with British companies to produce the adaptations in 2006. In 2007, Branagh met with Mankell to discuss playing the role. Contracts were signed and work began on the films, adapted from ''Sidetracked'', ''Firewall'' and ''One Step Behind'', in January 2008. Emmy-award-winning director Philip Martin was hired as lead director. Martin worked with cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle to establish a visual style for the series.
The second series was filmed from July to October 2009 and was broadcast in January 2010.〔BBC Press Office (11 December 2009). "(Network TV BBC Week 1: Sunday 3 January 2010 )". Press release. Retrieved 11 December 2009.〕 The third series was filmed in the summer of 2011 in Ystad, Scania and Riga, Latvia, and aired in July 2012.〔 Critics have written positively of the series, which has won a Broadcasting Press Guild Award (Best Actor for Branagh) and six British Academy Television Awards, including Best Drama Series.
==Characters==
The series is based on Kurt Wallander (Branagh), a detective and police inspector in the small town of Ystad, Sweden. Branagh describes Wallander as "an existentialist who is questioning what life is about and why he does what he does every day, and for whom acts of violence never become normal. There is a level of empathy with the victims of crime that is almost impossible to contain, and one of the prices he pays for that sort of empathy is a personal life that is a kind of wasteland."〔Dickson, E Jane (29 November–5 December 2008). "Death Becomes Him", ''Radio Times'', BBC Magazines, pp. 12–16.〕 In the novels, Wallander regularly listens to opera in his apartment and his car. This signature hobby has been dropped for this adaptation; producer Francis Hopkinson believes it would make Wallander too similar to Inspector Morse, whose love of opera is already familiar to British viewers.〔 Branagh did not watch any of the Swedish ''Wallander'' films before playing the role, preferring to bring his own interpretation of the character to the screen.〔
Wallander's team at the Ystad police station is made up of: Anne-Britt Hoglund (Smart), Svedberg (Beard), and Magnus (Hiddleston). Of Wallander and Hoglund, Smart said, "Our relationship is based on this impeccable mutual respect which is all very Scandinavian and, actually, more interesting to play."〔 The team is joined at murder scenes by Nyberg (McCabe), a forensics expert. The team is overseen by Lisa Holgersson (Shimmin), Ystad's chief of police. Away from the police station, Wallander has a tempestuous relationship with his daughter Linda (Spark) and his father Povel (Warner), who Wallander discovers in ''Sidetracked'' has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Wallander's father spends his days sitting in an art studio, painting the same landscape repeatedly while in the care of his new wife Gertrude (Hemingway).
