GAZETTE & HERALD: Hollywood actors James D'Arcy and Jason Isaacs are the starring voices in a new Tractor Ted film, produced by Chippenham mum Alexandra Heard.
Tractorland Ltd, based at Spye Park, is the brainchild of Mrs Heard and farmer David Horler. They have built up a lucrative business creating films about farm life from the perspective of hard-working Tractor Ted.
Two new additions to the Tractorland stable this year are Tractor Ted in Summertime, a 40-minute film for young children, and Tractor Ted meets the Animals, a new 32-page picture book.
The voice of Tractor Ted is provided by James D'Arcy, BBC's Nicholas Nickleby, and Jason Isaacs, who played Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter.
Mrs Heard was inspired to create the Tractor Ted films when her own children, then aged four, three and one, were mad about farm animals and machinery, but unhappy with the animated videos on offer.
"I was determined not to waste their enthusiasm for knowledge and decided to go into making films myself," she said.
