What's he doing now?
I’m tempted to say ’what a summer’, except there wasn’t one! Like so many other people are remarking, from my perspective it has definitely been the worst I can ever remember. I can't recall a single day that we’ve been filming since the beginning of June when it hasn’t rained at some point. And on too many it hasn’t stopped raining at any point! Now, we can continue to work on wet days, so long as it isn’t too windy when the rain gets blown onto the lens, and modern video cameras do tend to brighten things up a bit, but even the best cameramen cannot make a silk purse out of a foggy, rain strewn, grey and dim view of British bleakness. Worse of all are landscapes such as heathland, downland or flat farmland under plain white skies. In terms of the way it looks you are better off in a wood with no sky visible or far better off hiding in a nice little café with a slice of carrot cake and a fresh pot of Earl Grey! And there have been a few of those moments.
