What a busy day! Today was our first day of filming for 'Amazing Spaces'. The crew arrived at 9 and stayed until about 6, with George Clarke here from 11-3. Lots of filming - in Bertie, out of Bertie, in the house, on the track - and lots and lots of waiting around too. Having grown up with Dad working in TV, I was at least a bit familiar with the processes and procedures involved in filming, but it feels very different when you are the one on the camera! George was really lovely, very down to earth, and we had some good conversations which helped to put me at ease. He seemed to like our crisps too - he ate three bags in one sitting!! The children were amazing, doing all that was asked of them, and being so patient with all the waiting around. It has been exhausting though. And really, really cold and grey outside - not really showing our beautiful country location off to the best.
We still weren't able to get Bertie started for the filming, which was a real shame, but Dan came over about 4 o'clock and was able to hot wire the ignition and get hime turning over, so that was really positive. He thinks that it is the starter solenoid which is causing the problem (I pretend to know what that is...) so he reckons he can fit another one and get us back on the road.
All in all, a very bizarre but very cool day.
