Today's filming so far has been Ep 1 scenes 1--5, all of which were completed. The director, Charles Palmer, was on hand and was especially concerned to get enough footage of Freema walking down the street in order to cover the duration of her mobile phone dialogue, which'll obviously be dubbed on.
The last shot of scene 5 was Freema and a group of extras walking away from the camera, whereas the previous set-ups had all been face-on shots.
I managed to get a quick chat with Freema. The only thing I had on me that was even vaguely suitable for autographing purposes was... oh dear... the new Series 2 Companion. Freema very graciously signed it with the message "I'll be in the next one!".
And, not connected with today's shoot: I've been told that recent filming has taken place in the Care Science building of the Glyntaff (sp?) campus of Glamorgan University. This building houses a full mock-up of a hospital ward -- used for training purposes. As a location, it would fit very well with the press release news yesterday/today that Martha is a medical student...
