‘Framed’ to broadcast on August 30th

An adaptation of Framed by Macmillan Children’s author Frank Cottrell Boyce is to be broadcast on BBC1 this August Bank Holiday, with Trevor Eve and Eve Myles to star.

Set almost entirely in Wales, the drama tells the story of 10-year-old Dylan Hughes and his family’s small petrol station; when his father leaves the family, it coincides with the arrival of a contingent from the National Portrait Gallery in London, who have brought paintings to Wales for safe-keeping after the gallery was flooded. The novel was inspired by the real-life practice during the Second World War of keeping paintings in Welsh mines.

“Framed” was directed by Andy De Emmony, who has previously directed “Filth: The Mary Whitehouse Story” and “God On Trial”; the producer is Richard Burrell and the executive producer Jessica Pope.
