Isle of Ireland

[Shake me up Judy]

I think there might be scope for a Scandi-Noir type series set here

Like that Danish noir 'Follow the Money' perhaps ?

[Moghrey Mie]

Apparently producers are crying out for studio space these days as there is such a demand for films.

What hasn't the island cashed in on this?

Peanuts, compared to some of the crackpot schemes we have become embroiled in!

The scene filmed at the giants causeway might give the game away.

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

It's hardly hollywood, just an ITV series actually set here, if it cost public money it would have been better spent than on value than Manx Radio or your salary.

Mindhorn … the series. Id be up for that. 

Or perhaps - “Crellin” a series in which jaded washed up alcoholic police inspector Brian Crellin uncovers a people trafficking ring operating in Colby which opens the doors on a secret criminal underworld in the IOM that puts his life immediately in danger. Crellin drives a 1958 Morris Minor estate and has a bitter ex wife who left him to live with the Chief Inspector who is constantly on his back trying to get him sacked, and two estranged children one of whom is a Peel drag queen embroiled in a controversial new teaching programme, the other a lesbian who lives in Foxdale with the daughter of his former best friend from Ballakermeen.

Just a little glimpse of life on the IOM.

Massive irony alert ! Wow.

Worked on a few bits and pieces in Mannin Shorts. Don't think it was ever meant to be profitable, but it was fun, and I know people from there who have actually gone on to work in the biz.

Not nasty, just facts millions spent annually on complete guff and his salary is a waste, can't even keep his own very limited election promises, would have been as effective voting in a tub of lard.

I think it’s got legs. The opening scene could be at the funeral of Brian Crellin Snr. A much more successful Manx copper who became the first Manx Chief Constable who Crellin Jnr has tried unsuccessfully to emulate. He died in a mysterious explosion at a Kipper Smoking Plant. Was it a genuine accident though or was it a warning from the people traffickers for Crellin to back off? The funeral scene could be filmed in the gloomy St George’s churchyard on a rainy windswept day (ie, any day). At the wake in the Woody Crellin gets drunk on Fynodderee gin as his ex wife reminds him that compared to his father he’s been an unsuccessful Detective who is going to get sacked by his superiors if he doesn’t dry out. The first episode ends when Crellin is found in the wreck of his Morris Minor at Groudle Bridge but claims he wasn’t driving at the time and that he’s been framed by the Albanian people traffickers who are untouchable in their secure compound up in the hills of Ronague from which they run their Colby empire. Only Crellin can bring them to justice ..

Yep, got three legs!

You have obviously been thinking about this to much.

We almost got the King's Speech you know.

Plenty of chances missed here.

I've said before, a Spooks style drama based on IT and laundering.

Beyond Paradise - a brilliant detective leaves a warm island in the sun for a cold windy one in the Irish Sea.

We don't want yet another gritty police drama shite thing - The Bay was close enough.  It's filmed in doom and gloom and, like Shetland, is full of old empty houses and run down sea side shops... oh, wait ..

Perhaps jumping the gun just a little bit. But how about an adventure based upon the felt museum. Some of the felt made creatures come to life and try to kill our hero (Rob C) played by himself of course. He makes an escape swinging from the Monorail tracks. Just as he outfits the felt creatures he is ambushed by the evil Manx Care walking dead.
