Day two

Back to London bridge, nice and early. Glad to see all the crew have turned up again, as well as Josie Coxon to help with wardrobe. (actually she was there yesterday as well, what am I thinking. She even gets to appear as an extra).

The sun is out which will be a nice contrast to yesterdays overcast scenes. Get all the London bridge shots done in reasonable time then head over to Greenford to do some more street scenes, but with Kieran in less of a state, make up wise. On the way we have to put Alex on the tube to Acton to go and pick up Martha's pregnancy suit for Sunday as we're running late and they shut early. Thankfully he just makes it in time.

Traffic is appaling and we waste a huge amount of time on the move, but the trouble with the planning is that as we're going along we're tidying Kieran up bit by bit so that by the end of the shoot he will be clean and neat, which means we can't go back and re-do any earlier shots. This means we also have to rush across town to St Thomas's hospital at half eight to do the one hospital exterior (having scrapped the interior as no hospital would let us film inside). The shot's a little darker than I would have liked, but at least it's in the can.

It's late and no one has eaten since lunch time, but still everyone looks happy as they set off. Marvellous people, film crews (and cast). They never let their standards drop, no matter how long the work or what the conditions are, though wouldn't like to push this. Tomorrow and Sunday are all in the house, so food should be less of a problem.

What may be a problem are all the props for the house. The problem being that we don't have them.
