BBC Film Crew comes to MIB

While the rest of Padstow celebrated May Day and the Obby Oss, Mother Ivey’s Bay received a visit from a BBC film crew.

Last summer the crew filmed ‘Summer and Autumn’, two of the Four Seasons from Rosamund Pilcher’s popular book, and on 1st May they were filming scenes for ‘Winter and Spring’, completing the story.

Sadly, Tom Conti wasn’t required for filming, as we would have liked to have seen him at Mother Ivey's Bay. We won’t spoil it for anyone who has not read the book, but the BBC has the UK film rights and will broadcast it later in the year (we think!).

If it takes your fancy, you might also be able to watch it during a visit to Spain and Germany. Rosamund Pilcher is very very popular in Germany, with much of her work produced specially for German TV.

Below are some pictures from the day showing the crew's vans and two of the horses taking a well-earned break between takes!
