Writing in yesterday’s Telegraph, various film luvies claimed that “For every pound invested [by the UK Film Council], the country gets £5 back.”
Guess that means we can now just give the UK Film Council a few £billion, and the deficit disappears.
That said, I’m puzzled as to why all the folk who know the UK Film Council is such a money spinner aren’t willing to put their own money into it and see it increase five-fold.
As Homer almost asked, "Film stars ... is there anything they don't know?"
