Cor you lot were quick to get these posted. And yes, Andy, you’re right, we did shoot the entire sequence with that darn mag switch off! I only noticed it too, when I saw Damien’s pics! 😮
The Leefe Robinson story will be just one part of the story of the Victoria Cross, in a series made by Empire Productions. Having spent quite a bit of time with the production team, I can confirm that they’ve got a very good ‘handle’ on historical accuracy and presentation.
As TT said earlier, although the ‘Zeppelin’ hunt was shot with the aeroplane on trestles, it was shot from multiple angles and I’m pretty sure their effects and cgi guys will combine tell the story well.
It may not be 100-percent accurate historical documentary (or they’d have given us a huge budget to finish the BE-2 wouldn’t they? :rolleyes: ), but it will interpret the story in a way which will get the interest of a wide audience who may never have heard of Leefe-Robinson and many other VC heros too.
As you can see, forumites make ideal scruffy ‘erks’. Having been on-set from 10am to 2 this morning, I can vouch for the fact that it was “a hard day’s night” – but a heck of a lot of fun! Watch out for the results on Channel 5 somewhere around the 18th November
