NZ kidnaps the movie
The BBC is under fire for opting to film the famous adventure story Kidnapped in New Zealand, rather than in Scotland where it was originally set. Stands to reason, though, dunnit. After all, there are almost as many Scots in New Zealand now as in Scotland, and we don't have the midges. The only quarrel is they should have filmed on the home turf of one of the home country's more infamous sons, James Mackenzie. But maybe they would have clashed with the movie about him that I believe is being filmed there.
