Day 19 of filming

Welcome to Mrs Owen’s Bed & Breakfast in Old Berry. It is a nice, cosy guest house where Olive is staying prior to the heist.

The first scene we shot at the B&B was Olive’s arrival and checking in. This is when she first meets David and his mother (played by Jeanette Rourke). The climax of the scene is the moment when David gets interested in the contents of Olive’s heavy bag (which, as we know, holds quite a few illegal gadgets). What follows is what we call a “plot fork”, which is a kind of game where the users decide on what happens next. One of the possible outcomes is a fight between Olive and David.

While we were filming the violent encounter, the actors had to endure being hit with a baton and pushed against the wall several times. To prevent damage to her collarbone, Charlotte wore a special protective pad under her T-shirt. We felt sorry for her anyway.

We then did a “family supper” in the dining room of the B&B, which is, in fact, the first time chemistry can be felt between Olive and David. Our Art Director (Nina) had worked hard to set the table nicely and cook mouth-watering roasted chicken and delicious homemade soup!
