It is fascinating to see Brittas vulnerable in this episode, they really explored his character well. It adds a great deal to it in my opinion, so well done to the writers. This season really was a step forward for the show.
The series was filmed at Ringwood Leisure Centre in Hampshire. Reception, the staff room and Brittas' office were sets at BBC TV Centre. I saw an episode filmed at BBC TV Centre and met Chris Barrie afterwards.
