2112 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Has it been filmed? If it was being used as a location you would have heard IOMG dick waving division singing loudly, no doubt getting nostalgic for the old days of the island being used as a film location, and it’s previous film making industry. Minister Allinson will be singing songs from the Eddie Teare songbook, about Bednights. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Wasn't this the series that hit the local news a while ago? Many were asking how we could have missed out given it is set here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many were asking how we could have missed out given it is set here. Maybe we were "out tax-breaked"? IF it was filmed in the Irish Republic, are they now in a position to offer greater such advantages than we are now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thommo2010 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 If Suranne Jones was on the Island then there would have been pictures on news sites etc. Doubt it was filmed here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some news coverage about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 The Manx Film Industry was mostly a racket from start to finish. Slick accounting, tax fiddles and 'overseas investors' (Money laundering to you and me). Who the hell would have put money into most of the lame turkeys that were made on the Island and which went straight to foreign distributors or were never even produced ? The Manx taxpayer did and we got fleeced. Thankyou and goodnight. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of the Bed Nights, and all that spending in the local economy .,….. of which VAT is payable etc. it wasn’t something which led ultimately to an industry which the island could truly claim was unique, and created loads of jobs which lasted 25 years or more.

Shake me up Judy Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 It didn't create anything. An overnight industry and gone in a puff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right and I was trying to say that, but even today the mantra of Eddie Teare ring around IOMG in particular Bed Nights, and it permeates into their thinking.

Stu Peters Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 You know Star Wars wasn't actually filmed in space, right? Imagine the furore if we spent any more public money on Hollywood dreams. #cantwin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
