In last week's shoot we drew in a whole bunch of friends and contacts as cast and crew. Some were there for experience, others were doing us a favour and I hope that everyone enjoyed a break in their daily routine. Our central character was played by Therese Collins, an actor friend of Rick's who has worked with him on all sorts of projects. It was very interesting watching how she approached the shoot - not just in terms of her role (in which she was fantastic), but her effect on everyone else.
Another of our heroes was Jude, who fitted two appearances around her working day as a researcher at the OU. She was more than willing to help, but I suspect felt a little ambushed to be pushed in front of the camera straight away in the infamous bus stop scene. She was great in that, and came back later for the 'friends in a bar scene', which we filmed in the old Venables cafe.
It's cranberry juice, honest. But Therese lifted the energy levels until they were laughing their heads off like two old friends.
