The cast and crew of ITV's crime drama Van Der Valk were met with a less than warm welcome when they arrived in a small Dutch village to film its third series. Marc Warren and Maimie McCoy, who star in the show, were shocked by the hostile reception they received.
Maimie described the experience to The Sun as 'really awkward', as the locals were not impressed with the crew's presence. They were met with beeping horns and angry shouts of 'get out of our place!' at every turn. Unfortunately, one of the crew's caravans was even attacked in the middle of the night, with a woman smashing its back window.
Van Der Valk is a reboot of the 1970s hit series starring Barry Foster. It follows the titular crimefighter Simon 'Piet' Van Der Valk as he investigates the murder of two political activists in Amsterdam. It is based on the novels of Nicholas Freeling, who wrote ten books featuring the character between 1962 and 1972, as well as one final Van Der Valk book, Sand Castles, in 1989.
It's a shame that the cast and crew were met with such hostility, as the show looks set to be a great success.
