The series would have self - contained stories with drama and humour ; a formula successfully used in Father Brown from the same production team. The characters, Jane and Davey, were based on Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracey in `` Adams Rib '' with the unresolved sexual tension between them. Abbott wrote the Davey character with Matt Bardock in mind. She created four other characters to complete the cast. Production According to the BBC, the series is not based on, or inspired by, MR Hall 's best - selling books including The Coroner. Hall stated he was `` unhappy '' about the `` enormous similarities '', but the BBC say any resemblance with his books -- also about an unusually pro-active, Land Rover driving, forty - something female solicitor who after a failed relationship returns to the West Country to take up the post of coroner -- are purely coincidental. The production office was located at Dartington where some interior scenes were filmed. Filming began in mid-April 2015 for 15 weeks. The episodes were divided into blocks of two with the same director, assistant director, and director of photography. Locations included Dartmouth, Torquay, and Broadsands Beach, Paignton. The Mansion, now a community building, in Totnes was used as the Coroners Court. A brass plate was attached to the brickwork. The exterior and interior of Oldway Mansion is used as Lighthaven 's town hall. The Old Customs House in Bayard 's Cove, Dartmouth is the location of the Coroners office. The set for The Black Dog Inn is the derelict Crooked Spaniards Inn, Cargreen, Cornwall. The tower at Gribben Head, Cornwall featured in the first episode.
