A GOOD GIRL’S GUIDE TO MURDER FILMING LOCATION: IS LITTLE KILTON REAL?
The story of A GOOD GIRL’S GUIDE TO MURDER takes place in Little Kilton, which is a made-up town. In real life, Little Kilton is in the market town of Axbridge in Somerset. Filming took place in and around the town.
“You want Little Kilton to seem perfect on the surface, like Twin Peaks in a way,” Emma Myers, who plays Pip, said about the choice of setting. She continues, “We chose a town that when you come through the main high street, it twists and turns, and the houses are very bright colours, but it is surrounded by very woody hills. It feels very British but it has an edge.”
The process of turning Axbridge into Little Kilton was very careful. Chairman of the board Frith Tiplady said, “We wanted to film the show in real places and during the summer.” We looked for a version of Little Kilton that matched the mood of the book and the screenplay. The town had to be just the right size for the number of suspects. It couldn’t be too small or too big.
“The way they changed the town of Axbridge to become Little Kilton was incredible,” Zain Iqbal, who plays Sal’s brother Ravi, said. They changed all the shop signs and put up the full mural of Andie in this little square.
Myers and the show’s director, Dolly Wells, both talked about how important the “chocolate box village” style was to the show’s mood. Wells said, “The town has to seem really pretty but must have this feeling of the woods surrounding it, of nature encroaching in this rather dark, menacing way.”
Poppy Cogan, a screenwriter and executive producer, said this about Wells’s vision: “She did such a great job creating a world that feels quintessentially English but with a twist; a picture-perfect town with a dark underbelly.”
