Crime ridden and seedy, Marseille

A new eight episode programme will be on the screen in the autumn. Set in Marseille, the second biggest city after Paris, the episodes will delve into the dark underworld of this crime ridden city. The lead characters do not include any police officers. "We chose Marseille because it's a city with an absolutely incredible personality," said Dan Franck screen writer, sitting with  Pascal Breton producer in a bar overlooking Marseille's colourful historic port. "The ghettos are a character. The politicians are characters. That's what interests us, it's not about standing up or tearing down Marseille's image. Val says that should be interesting but I imagine also a bit frightening.
