LONDON: Studio Lambert has optioned the television rights to Scilly Police Sergeant Colin Taylor\u2019s memoir from Jonathan Sissons at the Peters Fraser and Dunlop literary and talent agency.<\/p>\n

Taylor will act as a consultant and executive producer during the development of the project as a prime-time TV series. In The Life of a Scilly Sergeant<\/em>, Taylor shares his perspective of life on the isolated Isles of Scilly, an archipelago off the tip of Cornwall. Taylor\u2019s memoir offers a view of life in the small community as he tackles his duties, including attempting to solve the mystery of a kidnapped goldfish and calling for the return of the island\u2019s supply of traffic cones in preparation for a Royal visit.<\/p>\n

Susan Hogg, Studio Lambert\u2019s head of drama and president of scripted programming, said, \u201cWe are beyond thrilled to be dramatizing this wonderful book. Working with Colin is a delight. His witty observations on life on Scilly are eccentric, engaging and above all hugely entertaining. Colin’s unique take on the world is incredibly funny and The Scilly Sergeant<\/em> will translate into terrific drama.”<\/p>\n

Taylor added: \u201cTo know that such a prestigious production company is so keen to dramatize my book and life through the eyes of Scilly Sergeant is incredibly exciting. I’m over the moon.”<\/p>\n
