Shot on location on the island of Corfu, the critically-acclaimed television series “The Durrells” has been much lauded as a sunny, moving story that “captures an age of innocence” and “recreates an authentic sense of innocent exoticism.” According to the Guardian newspaper, it has succeeded in once more bringing families together around a television set once a week.
Talking to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA) in an interview released on Sunday, the producer of the series Christopher Hall noted that he had insisted that it be shot on Corfu, despite the difficulties presented at that time, and felt vindicated by the result.
The idyllic setting on the island was a major part of the series’ success, Hall said, while he predicted a bright future for Greece’s audiovisual industry after the introduction of a cash rebate for film companies that shoot in Greece, which ‘The Durrells’ will be among the first productions to receive.
