00:00Police lot is tucked on the outskirts of Wakefield City Centre, started by a former West Yorkshire policeman, David Clayton.
00:09How did your link with David the Jekyll come about?
00:12So we were approaching the early stages, which is the script stages, to give some technical advice on the security services, MI6 and the police.
00:23So that's how we initially started getting involved. Obviously as a company we supply props and costumes.
00:29So the next step was to be that we might have advised them of certain things that needed to be in there, props and uniforms that the right police would use.
00:37Bearing in mind, much of the scenes that were filmed in David the Jekyll were actually filmed in Hungary, out in Budapest.
00:44So we had to make sure that we took everything from England, had to be sent over to Hungary to make sure we had it.
00:50Because only the exterior scenes of London were actually filmed in London. Everything else, all the interiors, were actually filmed in Hungary.
00:59What was that like, trying to get everything over? Was it quite a mission?
01:02It was a little bit. Production played a really big part in that because they did all the organising.
01:07We just had to box everything up, make sure everything was itemised so it could go through customs and make sure that we didn't forget anything.
