Film crews on Crosby beach<br />
Code NA<br />
Iron Men to <strong>star</strong><br />
in magic show!<br />
CROSBY’S famous Iron Men<br />
are set to <strong>star</strong> in a new<br />
primetime magic and illusion<br />
show.<br />
Antony Gormley’s Sefton<br />
artwork was chosen<br />
by executives at Channel<br />
4 <strong>for</strong> their new<br />
programme, Ben Earl: Trick<br />
Artist.<br />
Crosby features in episode<br />
two of the four–part series,<br />
which airs on Friday, May 3.<br />
The show sees the Another<br />
Place installation taking<br />
centre stage in a ‘stunning<br />
act of deception.’<br />
Filming was facilitated by<br />
Sefton Council which works<br />
to promote the borough as<br />
a versatile location <strong>for</strong> film<br />
and photo shoots.<br />
The trick was per<strong>for</strong>med<br />
Report by Ollie Cowan<br />
on the Blundellsands stretch<br />
of the beach, whilst the<br />
production team based itself<br />
at Crosby Leisure Centre on<br />
Mariners Road.<br />
Madeleine Knight, Channel<br />
4’s Entertainment Commis–<br />
sioning Editor, said: “Art is<br />
fundamentally important to<br />
Ben’s work – it in<strong>for</strong>ms<br />
almost everything he does –<br />
so <strong>for</strong> Another Place to<br />
feature in the art episode was<br />
incredibly special to him and<br />
provided one of the stand out<br />
moments in the show.”<br />
Councillor Ian Moncur,<br />
Sefton Council’s Cabinet<br />
Member <strong>for</strong> Children,<br />
Schools, Families and<br />
Leisure, said: “It’s absolutely<br />
great that Sefton and Antony<br />
Gormley’s Iron Men are once<br />
again featuring on national<br />
TV.<br />
“The statues have really put<br />
Crosby beach on the map and<br />
are hugely popular with<br />
visitors, photographers<br />
and sometimes TV shows<br />
and documentary makers.<br />
“As a council we work hard<br />
to support filming requests<br />
which often portray the<br />
natural beauty of the area, or<br />
highlight local attractions<br />
and destinations.<br />
“Of course film crews may<br />
base themselves in the<br />
borough or employ local<br />
actors or support staff which<br />
contributes to the local<br />
economy.”<br />
