“Filming days are long and hours are variable – sometimes the crew will have to shoot from early in the day until late at night to capture essential night scenes,” read the caption. “Weeks of this, away from family, can take a toll – so a good holiday in high summer gives the crew enough time to see their parents and go on holiday. The morale benefits – and for later work – are huge.”
While we don’t know when the cast will return to the set to film the second half of the series, we do know that filming will wrap up in November.
