In the world of TV the BBC has produced films about the detective Wallander, based upon the books by Swedish author Mankell. (I'm not a big fan). So what they do is take British actors with British accents, and a leading Kenneth Branagh, shoot the films in Sweden on location, with Swedish signs, names and newspapers... ...and, okay, to me it sounds a bit weird and closely related to those German films shot in Sweden with German actors playing Swedes named Inga. I wonder how the Brits prounounce Swedish names as a start. Like "Wallander".

There is a Swedish Wallander series too, of course.
