Today (Monday) is a red letter day for a United Kingdom Office of Fair Trading investigation into a Manx firm's move to buy the historic Pinewood Shepperton studio complex.
Peel Group wants to buy the complex, home to the James Bond and Harry Potter movies, for around £96 million.
But the OFT is looking into whether the firm, which also owns MediaCityUK in Manchester, would lessen competition through the deal.
An OFT spokesman described the probe as a standard merger investigation and said it would examine 'whether the deal may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition'.
The OFT will make a decision today.
