taken aback 7 October 2009
There are days when even I am taken aback by the tv process. It is a long and often quite boring process but, mild whinge aside, it’s a magical and wonderful way to fling off a day. Today was one of the more technical for us. We did a big scene (on the pub set) that was tricky, and mechanical in the end of all. SO we spent 5 hours making approx 2 minutes of telly. It’ll look great but really pass in a few blinks of the eye and rightly so as the audience should and will go GREAT and just accept that this is what’s due and only right and proper for the level of what they want from the show = a compliment to it, for sure, but no one would believe what it takes if they weren’t there!
I know now why the Hub was let into my room – he knew the number and only me and the hotel knew/know that and they don’t ever give it out but I did tell him on the phone as I was being driven home – so relax all, you are safe if you never share that kind of private info…
