BAFTA award winning indie Lime Pictures has been commissioned to produce original children’s drama ‘The Knot’ for CBBC.  The three part drama is currently filming in the Isle of Man and will transmit on CBBC later in the year.  The series features a host of well-known faces including Debra Stephenson, Mark Moraghan and Kelle Bryan as well as some break through talent.

Set in the heart of the Isle of Man and surrounded by the Irish sea, The Knot is a special place – where raw and rugged nature plays host to a stream of kids with complex lives, all fostered by Peter (Anthony Flanagan) and Sarah Boulsworth (Debra Stephenson) and their kids, Rocket aged 11 (Joseph Gallucci) and Alli aged 14 (Helen Smith). 

The Knot is an original drama from Lime Pictures and will be executive produced by Creative Director Tony Wood.  The three part series was commissioned and will be executive produced by Sue Knott for CBBC.

The Knot is being filmed in association with the Island’s well established indigenous film production and finance company CinemaNX (NX) and with the support of Isle of Man Film. Laurence Skelly, political member of the Isle of Man Government with responsibility for film and media said, “It’s a genuine pleasure working with the BBC (again) and Lime Pictures on The Knot. It’s a wonderful script, set on the Isle of Man, and it offers many opportunities to showcase the unique beauty of the Island. I’m really looking forward to watching the series when it airs on CBBC in the autumn. I’m sure it will be something that all of us here on the Island will be proud of.”
 
Lesley Douglas, Chief Executive for Lime Pictures comments, “The location for The Knot is at the heart of the whole story, and the Isle of Man has provided the perfect setting, combining beauty and an aura of mystery.  The relationship with Cinema NX and Isle of Man Film has been an important factor in helping us to bring this production to television.  We are delighted to be working with them on such an exciting BBC project”.
