Filmed near Meldon and set initially in the early weeks of the 2001 Foot and Mouth epidemic, David Fielder and Nigel Hastings play farmer and vet in "And Then Come The Nightjars". And indeed they did.
Nervously we prepared to be traumatised but the tragic culling was dealt with appropriately and we watched the story of friendship between the men evolve through their personal difficulties and beyond, and until the churring noise of nightjars is heard again.
Film over it was time for the "walk" From the Wharf carpark , past a Lamborghini and to the Bedford Hotel and after a refreshing drink the walk back to the cars. No Lamborghini ! And thankfully, no nightjars to be heard !
