What it played on screen

From Copenhagen to Midsomer.

Nyhavn, Amalienborg and police locations helped mark the programme's hundredth case.

The description above records what the real place supplied on screen. The list gives each linked case and its principal fictional setting; a production may use only one building or street rather than the entire settlement.

Beyond the camera

About the real place

Copenhagen is the great geographical exception in the Casebook: a European capital rather than an English village double. The harbour frontage at Nyhavn, royal quarter around Amalienborg and dense network of streets and waterways give the hundredth episode a deliberately unmistakable sense of place.

The filming areas are central parts of a busy, walkable city with extensive public transport, museums and waterfront routes. They should be approached as part of a Copenhagen visit rather than a single-location pilgrimage. Distances, access and crowds are on an entirely different scale from the Thames Valley villages.
