The television series ‘Magpie Murders’ (based on the novel of the same name by Anthony Horowitz ) has been picked up by the BBC and will be shown on BBC One later on in 2023.
The series was filmed in a few places around the county including Kersey and Ipswich.
Magpie Murders is a six-part murder mystery based on the character of Susan Ryeland. Susan is an editor who receives a tattered manuscript. The manuscript is from a local author who seems to be telling a different story within the main story being told.
After it was decided that the novel would be turned into a TV series, it was filmed in 2021. During filming, The Bell Inn, in Kersey, was renamed The Queens Arms and the film crew recreated the streets of London in different parts of Ipswich too.
In the series, there are various classic cars seen including classic MG’s and more.
It’s always great to see Suffolk on TV and it’s even better to see classic cars in Suffolk on TV so, if you haven’t seen Magpie Murders yet, it will be on BBC One and iPlayer very soon.
