Did anyone see the film crew in the village today?

In case you were not aware, there was a film crew in the village today, shooting scenes around the village for a forthcoming TV commercial for Vi-Spring mattresses, (who are based in Plymouth).  They spent about an hour on Lower Hill trying to persuade the sheep in the meadow to perform… a classic case of “never try and work with children or animals”.  Eventually the sheep performed sufficiently well and it was apparently “a wrap”.  Presumably the commercial for mattresses will have some oblique reference to counting sheep and having a sound night’s sleep?  After Lower Hill, the crew departed for Widecombe.

So watch out for North Bovey on a TV screen near you in the next few months!
