Quick Facts The Trouble with Maggie Cole, Genre ...

Premise

The six-part series takes place in the coastal village of Thurlbury and follows the local busybody Maggie Cole (Dawn French).[5] Maggie refers to herself as the "local historian" and runs the local heritage/gift shop,[6] while her husband Peter is the headmaster of the local primary school.[7]

Self-important Maggie has spilt the beans, drunkenly, on local radio about six village characters with secrets, and is thus racked with guilt for her pointless gossip. But she somehow seems to have hit a seam of truth about at least two or three, and thus the stage is set for confrontations and reckonings.[8]

Production and filming

The show was initially planned to be named Glass Houses while in production in early 2019.[9][10] Filming for the series took place across South Devon and Cornwall, primarily in the village of Noss Mayo.[11] Other locations where filming took place are Mothecombe, Launceston Castle, Cargreen, Burgh Island, Bigbury-on-Sea beach, Morwellham Quay, Saltash, and a primary school in Ivybridge.[11]
