Film crews were at an estate in Tunbridge Wells last week, recreating a popular music video for a new BBC TV show.

Pretzel Films were at Salomon's Estate, in Southborough, shooting a remake of Maroon 5's latest single, Sugar, which is to be used in the upcoming CBBC Official Chart Show.

The top ten hit is to be featured on the new programme which has been commissioned to help create a new generation of music lovers.

CBBC Official Chart Show will be the first live broadcast TV show for BBC Radio 1, and will feature live guests, interviews and performances.

Production Manager Millie Lloyd said "It's going to be a 'Top of the Pops' kind of show for children, as we're trying to get kids interested in music again, we also want to ensure that there is a focus on regional areas in our pre-recorded pieces."

Pretzel Films turned their attention to the Tunbridge Wells estate due to it's reputation as a popular venue for weddings, the main feature of Maroon 5's video for the single, where the band crash ceremonies.

Ms Lloyd added "it's a beautiful place, we chose to film there due to the frame-by-frame recreation of the video and felt that Salomon's Estate was a perfect fit.

"Tunbridge Wells is a lovely town, and we were so thrilled with the staff there who were brilliant."

Steve Wynne of Pretzel Films TV is from Tunbridge Wells, and added "The band, who we dubbed Maroon 6, were fantastic, and the staff at Salomons Estate were a joy to work with.

"Plus it was a delight to take the crew down to Tunbridge Wells and show off the town where I live.”

As the show will be aimed at a younger audience, all of the cast in the frame-by-frame recreation of Sugar are drama school children who perform with Italia Conti, Tunbridge Wells.

The show has been signed to run from May 10 until July 12, with 26 shows scheduled to be broadcast live from BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge at 6.30pm Sunday evenings.
