What was it like actually doing bigger scenes with more characters and introducing new cast members to the existing cast?

So it's something I'm very used to doing.

I've done a lot of TV shows where I'm the director who launches a new show.

So I'm used to bringing new cast together.

I also spent a long time working in kids television.

So I'm very used to working with young actors, with non-professional actors, and sort of bringing them in and teaching them how to be an on-camera actor.

It's a different skill.

And I think just really churning out these sort of B-movie type films I think it was their brief, but I think Seijin Suzuki brings his own flair to this.

But also, the first time I worked on Ghosts back in series four, and we shoot in West Horsley Place, this big old house.

We shoot there for four months over the winter.

And when we're prepping, we also do the prep there.

And they have a cut off for prep that we have to be out of the building by 6 p.m. And I had my own little office.

It was captain's bedroom in the TV show.

It was my office for prep.

So that's

Could you tell me a little bit more about it?

I mean, when they sent me the script, it was already most of the way there.

A lot of what my job as a director is to do when I get the script is just make sure it's shootable.

in the time and with the budget.

So all those new characters that they wrote, they were already in there.

I can't take any credit for any of that at all.

I was just involved in in getting the best cast we could, getting the actors that were the best fit for each of those new characters and that would inhabit the world and feel like they belonged in it.

For audiences who have watched this TV show at home, what would they expect going into the cinema and watching it on the big screen with an audience?
