Shelltown has been created by NORTHERN IRELAND based Bernard Sparkes
and his wife Patricia and is the production of stories written by Patricia for their 14 children as they were growing up. Proving to be such a success with her own children, who’s imagination made them dream of seeing
the characters on television, gave Bernard the idea of making that dream a reality.
We’ve been working on this project since 1999 but the problem is raising the finance to put the project together, it’s huge, absolutely huge.
The amount of money needed to get the project off the ground may be huge but that’s nothing compared to the expected success of Shelltown. The response so
far has been phenomenal that Ronan Keating has become a shareholder in the company and is lending his voice to the lead character
and the theme tune.
Along with Ronan we have Johnny Vegas, Ken Branagh and Oscar winning
Julian Fellows, who people may know from Monarch of the Glen, committed lending their voices to characters.
“The story of the Meggabike is based around the good eggs and the bad eggs. You’ve got Splat, Cracker and Exactly, and the bad eggs Rotten Ron, Stinker and Eddie. There’s also PC Boiler, your friendly local policeman who’s tough on crime.”
With the creative characters and well-known personalities, Shelltown is well on it’s way to becoming a regular feature on our television screens, although one thing still remains, the financial backing.
As a company we are also donating part of their profits to charity. The National Autistic Society, this is something very close to our hearts as we
have two children that are autistic. So please visit our online store....
We have published a book based on the story of the Meggabike and have had
a dance track produced on CD, featuring Splat and Cracker – it’s fantastic!
