Hollywood stars Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman were in Lindisfarne, Northumberland today filming their latest Blockbuster, The Railway Man.

The film is about Berwick's Eric Lomax who survived a prisoner-of war-camp. He still lives near Holy Island and Firth plays him, while Kidman plays his wife Patti. But today, they weren't having much luck because of the weather.

And multi-million pound film or not - people still needed to get past.
