00:00As actors, what is the level of interactivity that you get to have with each other while you're making the show?
00:07Well, it's very different in London than it was in New Zealand.
00:10Entirely worlds apart, literally, but under entirely different circumstances
00:15because many of us came to New Zealand from all over the world to film it.
00:20And when you're filming something like that a long way away from home,
00:24you spend all your time, or a lot of your time, with your castmates.
00:27Particularly as it was the first, it was that establishing, establishing, getting to know each other.
00:31And there was the Covid hiatus.
00:34In London, it's different for all of us, but speaking for myself,
00:38you go to work and then you go home.
00:41But the grounding that was created during that first season for the cast has been absolutely invaluable.
00:48And it's moments like this, we come together, and it's honestly, we could be,
00:52in terms of the dynamic between us, we could be back in New Zealand.
00:56Because, you know, many of us are at home, myself as well, when we're shooting in London.
01:01And so it is kind of work home and we're with the people that we share scenes with.
01:06But, you know, it's not often we look forward to these moments where we can come together
01:10and we just pick up where we left off.
01:13And that is for the foundation that we built in New Zealand.
01:16So, yeah, we're grateful for that, I think, I hope.
