WITH its old-fashioned trams and quiet bays, the Isle of Man is about as far from fast-living Hollywood as it's possible to be.
Yet this island has a string of film credits that would make a movie producer green with envy.
In fact, about as green as the glens and meadows of this unspoilt corner of Britain.
More than 50 films and television programmes have been made on the Isle of Man since 1995, including ITV's latest Sunday-night hit, Island at War.
The island has its own home-grown celebrities as well.
