Comedy blockbuster premieres on Island
A comedy blockbuster shot on-location in the Isle of Man enjoyed a local premiere last night.
Mindhorn, a homage to 80s detective flicks and set against a string of Manx murders, is out in cinemas across the UK a week today (5 May).
It's been produced by BBC Films, in association with Studiocanal and Isle of Man Film.
Co-writers and stars Julian Barratt and Simon Farnaby attended a special screening at the Broadway Cinema in Douglas yesterday, followed by an audience Q&A.
They told Manx Radio why the Island appealed to them for filming:
Island's finances 'in a better position than most other jurisdictions'
Completion of assisted dying bill 'the most significant moment of 2025'
Keep dogs away from Garwick Beach for next few days
Cost of sending a letter on the Island to increase in January
