DEATH VALLEY
Soul Set contributed to Death Valley, a BBC crime-comedy drama set in Wales, following an unlikely partnership between a retired actor and an ambitious detective as they investigate a series of murders.
The series combines crime-solving with humour and character-driven storytelling, bringing together a range of locations and environments across its investigations.
Death Valley stars Timothy Spall as John Chapel, a retired actor famous for playing a fictional television detective, alongside Gwyneth Keyworth as Detective Sergeant Janie Mallowan.
Set in Wales, the series follows the unlikely duo as their contrasting personalities and approaches to solving crime lead them into a variety of cases.
The production needed environments that could accommodate its changing storylines, from everyday settings to locations central to individual investigations, while maintaining a consistent visual identity.
Soul Set worked alongside the production team to support the construction requirements of the series.
The focus was on delivering practical, screen-ready environments that complemented the production design and supported the varied requirements of filming. Collaboration, attention to detail and an understanding of the demands of television production were central to the work.
The construction work helped support the visual world of Death Valley, providing practical environments for the production's mix of crime, comedy and character-led storytelling.
For Soul Set, the project was another opportunity to contribute to a Welsh television production, bringing creative ideas into the physical spaces needed to tell stories on screen.
