Island at War

[number8]

Brilliant series, but why was it filmed on the Isle of Man as opposed to the Channel Islands?

Because it was felt it would be inappropriate to have people marching around in Nazi uniforms in a place where it really happened.

Oh yes, of course - duhhh. Many thanks

Also because the Isle of Man has better support services for film making and primarily (I reckon) because they have a Media Development Fund to provide funding for films.

I agree that it would have been most insensitive and disrespectful to have filmed in the Channel Islands.
I also heard that the reason why they didnt film in the Channel Islands was because they had become very "touristy" whereas the Isle of man still had an old world charm, which made for a more realistic setting for a series set during WW11.
