'Valleywood' film studios administrator hopeful

Nearly eight years after it went into administration, there are hopes that film studios in Rhondda Cynon Taff could eventually find a buyer.

The Dragon International Studios - dubbed Valleywood - have largely been mothballed in that time.

One film was made in 2009 but American cable network Fox TV is now making the medieval adventure series The Bastard Executioner there.

The Welsh government said it is hoped the long-term lease of the complex to Fox 21 Television Studios may bring even more American TV and film productions to Wales in the future.

Administrator Rob Lewis said finding buyers has been complicated but he was hopeful that at least the studios were a more attractive proposition with people working in them.
