censorship Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 The un-soundproof studio is at Ramsey where you could hear the seagulls on the roof. At the time the Govt were so desperate to see it built that there appeared to be very little control with regard to the grant they were handing out so even if it was meant to be sound proof the Govt would probably have coughed up the cash as long as something was built even if it did not meet the specifications What was the value of the grant given, and under what scheme?

FACT Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Hansard 2002 Mr Karran: The amendment I have moved today should answer straightforward questions regarding a major and expensive project involving three-quarters of a million pounds worth of taxpayers’ money. The ministers past and present might think it is an unimportant matter in which the manner a company involved in the film studio project is managed, but with so much public money at stake I believe the taxpayers have a right to know. Questions need to be answered and the solution is in the outline of my amendment. Edited April 30, 2014 by FACT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisenchuk Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Perhaps the emperor had a fetish for rubbing Eddies orange ear wax all over himself. Maybe that's what caused the vodka and cock out incident on the school playing field. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Peters Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 However much we'd probably like to be a key player in the movie business, our location will usually work against us. Unless there's a financial advantage, why would a producer choose the added expense and inconvenience of filming here rather than in Wales (or England or Scotland) - only a couple of hours from post production facilities in Wardour Street and an evening with the luvvies and movers and shakers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
