The heartwarming, laughter-filled event took place at Fort St Elmo and was headlined by beloved British comedian and best-selling children’s author David Walliams. Aimed at families and children of all ages, his one-man show brought to life his hilarious stories and colourful cast of book characters.

All proceeds from the performance were now donated to Puttinu Cares, the local organisation that provides vital support to children undergoing cancer treatment.

As part of the initiative, the Malta Film Commission also contributed €1,000 worth of books, which were later sold to raise even more funds for the cause.

Secret Service, a high-octane espionage thriller written by Tom Bradby and Jemma Kennedy, was commissioned by ITV last year, with filming currently underway in London and Malta.

Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker James Marsh, best known for The Theory of Everything (2014) and Man on Wire (2009), this production is supported through the Malta Film Commission’s Cash Rebate programme, one of the most attractive film incentives in Europe.

The series is being shot in several of Malta’s most iconic locations, including Valletta, Birgu, Isla, and Dingli.

With a total crew of 149 professionals, including 122 Maltese crew members, this production highlights the strength and capability of Malta’s local talent in servicing large-scale international projects.
