Paxton, UK market leader of
electronic access control and door entry solutions, will star in series two of BAFTA
award-winning ITV drama Broadchurch.
The hotly anticipated crime drama returned to screens on
Monday 5th January, 2015 and pulled in 7.6million viewers. Starring
David Tennant and Olivia Colman as police detectives, the show explores
what happens to a community in Dorset when it suddenly becomes the focus of a shocking
event.
Paxton were delighted to provide the
show with a number of access control proximity readers to ensure the police
station set was realistic. The
readers offer simple installation and were quickly wired into place by
an electrician who was working on the show. They were fitted to doors on the
police station set and used during
interview scenes.
Located at Longcross Studios, Surrey, the set was custom built to film the programme and took a
considerable amount of time to construct. The main concern was to keep the set
design as authentic as possible, whilst ensuring the practicalities of filming
and the requirements of the camera crew and Director were met.
Kudos, the production company working on the show,. were really pleased with the final
effect created by the Paxton readers as they were akin to what would be found
in a genuine police station.
The company’s electronic access control systems are
industry renowned for engineering innovation and appealing aesthetics. They
have a choice of stylish readers compatible to a range of sites.
Tune in to ITV1 at 9pm on Monday to
see the set in action.
