![]() Low key family drama about 2 sisters dealing with their mother's death in unexpected circumstances, 3 episodes supposedly set on Isle of Man, but all filming was done in Ireland and possibly a bit on Isle of Wight. Not normally my thing, but turned out to be surprisingly good - a lot more depth than usual. Wasn't going to post it, but a Saab turned up, so it had to be done .... Not much vehicle action, and all the plates - IoM and UK - are clumsy fakes with errors so don't waste time on check sites. |

Odd, because the Isle of Man has or had a tax incentive scheme to encourage film production. |

"Despite being set there, the show was not actually filmed on the Isle of Man, and instead the production team used Howth Peninsula near Dublin and the Isle of Wight. ..... The then Minister for Enterprise told the Isle of Man Today newspaper the show was not filmed on the Island because of its lack of provisions for corporation tax. The UK has a tax credit scheme which provides companies with up front funding, provided they are within the UK corporation tax net. The Manx government cannot give this same up front payment." from ITV page. |

With a name like that I think people from North America (and I)'d assume this is set in the Old Line State instead of the Isle of Mann... ![]() |

The dead mother was called Mary, and she'd set up a secret life on the IoM. |

Set on the Isle of Man, eh? Think any Peel P50s will show up? ![]() |

Perhaps they would have if it had really been filmed there. |
