Torchwood is shot on HD and has been since it’s birth on BBC 3. The costume requirements on this series vary from episode to episode and from series to series. There are specific “hero” costumes for the main members of Torchwood and it has allowed me to work in various periods from late victorian, to the 1920’s, 40’s, 80’s and the fictional 51st Century.

This series is a collaboration using CGI, Green Screen, Stunt doubles, wire work and special effects. The costumes are always interesting to design and are scrutinised in detail by the fans of the series.

Place of Execution

On a freezing December night in 1963, the worst kind of fear strikes the secluded Northumberland hamlet of Scardale. A 13-year-old girl has vanished without a trace. Against all their instincts, the tight knit residents must ask the outside world for help.

More than 40 years later, the dramatic events surrounding the girl’s disappearance and the hunt for the killer resurface when a high flying TV journalist makes a documentary about the case. What she finds will shatter the past-and the lives of everyone involved.

Juliette Stevenson, Lee Ingleby and Greg Wise star in this drama with co-stars Tony Maudsley, Philip Jackson, Emma Cunniffe and shiela Reid.

This drama was a great costume challenge. Keeping the present and the past as real and plausible as possible, the integrity of the period detail shows through without distracting from the story.
