Scandi-Noir (aka Nordic Noir) has had us glued to our TVs and Cinema screens for over a decade, but the literary roots actually stretch back to the appearance of Martin Beck in 1965. Join tutor Alan Seaman for this six-week tour of the crime fiction phenomenon on TV and film, as we travel across Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland to look at the cultural backgrounds and differences of your favourite cops and assorted crime solvers.
