WEBVTT - BEHIND THE SCENES OF RFDS WITH EMMA HAMILTON

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:01.720
<v Speaker 1>It's in the news today, but it was actually on

0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>TV Reloaded podcast last week.

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm I, how would I describe a television set, oh

0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Man from a headline grabbing point of view, the hack

0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:13.720
<v Speaker 2>producer from me says one hundred percent put him in.

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back guys to TV Reload. My name's Benjamin Norris

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:21.079
<v Speaker 1>and on this podcast I go behind the scenes with

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the biggest players in television.

0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, great questions. The show's about the game. There's a

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 2>lot of great television out there in Australia.

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>But I've also got to go behind the scenes with writers.

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.280
<v Speaker 1>The truth is, when I started writing it, it wasn't

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.560
<v Speaker 1>had nothing to do with the news and casting agents they.

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Know from a casting point of view what they need.

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>And editors because that's what we do as editors where

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:45.919
<v Speaker 1>storytellers them. Not to forget some incredible executive producers who

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>are making some of the best TV content in Australia.

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I have been on the program since the beginning and

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.440
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of in my DNA.

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>So thanks for joining me each week and I hope

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 1>the podcast continues to give you real insight into the

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>magic of television. This week on the podcast, to have

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 1>actress Emma Hamilton. Emma is currently starring in the reboot

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>of Royal Flying Doctor Service, which this week wraps series

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>one on Channel seven. If you've missed the new series

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 1>on Free to Wear, you are free to watch it

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>now on seven Plus, which I highly recommend. We are

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.760
<v Speaker 1>yet to find out the fate of this scripted drama,

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:22.759
<v Speaker 1>and I for one hope that we can all ban

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>together and get the next series in production. It's well written,

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>well acted, and the stories are mless for the Broken

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Hill setting of RFDS. The season finale does end on

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>a cliffhanger and that makes me feel like we do

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>have some hope for Emma's character. Emma has been seen

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.039
<v Speaker 1>in countless roles on stage and screen in both England

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>and Australia. There is a warmth to her acting which

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>is always present, and her passion for creating characters is

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 1>definitely inspiring, which we will find out today. We will

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>talk about the actors who have inspired Emma's work, including

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>a story about meeting Kate Winslet, how she won the

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>role of Doctor Eliza, and if she's made lifelong friends

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>with my favorite Justine Clark. However, let's get started with

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>today's guests. I'd like to welcome to the podcast. It's

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Emma Hamilton.

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.639
<v Speaker 2>When I read a script, I try to see if

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>there's an inn out here.

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>You can see just about every.

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Star, if there's something about the character that resonates.

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 1>If you screamed, you'd be pretty sure.

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 2>No one id hear. I'm sort of part of the

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.119
<v Speaker 2>fabric of Australian television pilot.

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Mira flight NSP.

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>This is doctor Eliza harrodown USMR. When I got the

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 2>news that I got the role, I had literally given

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 2>birth a week before seven. If you do a show

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 2>like this it will have far reaching the faith.

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Emma, how are you?

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm very well, Thank you, thank you very much for

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 2>having me well.

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Congratulations on the first season of RFDS. I am obsessed

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:54.359
<v Speaker 1>and I loved it.

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.679
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, I can't tell you how much that means to

0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:58.399
<v Speaker 2>hear you say that, that means a lot.

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.800
<v Speaker 1>What was your reaction and to being offered this role?

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>It was definitely in the highlight reel of the best

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 2>moments of my life. I was very overwhelmed, very teary,

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 2>and yeah in shock.

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Really yeah you like mom dad? I have a lead

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 1>in the reboot of the role flying Doctor Service and

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>they just run around screaming I'm imagining.

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was that was That was a very cool

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>moment when I when I got to say there's something

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 2>off with this role, which was very shortly followed on

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.080
<v Speaker 2>with how are you going to do this? Because I

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 2>literally when I got the news that I got the role,

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 2>I had literally given birth a week before, so so

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 2>that was so the first question was this is amazing.

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 2>How are you going to do this?

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought you were going to be talking from the

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>perspective of how am I going to be a doctor?

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, that was the other thing was just you know,

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 2>apart from the actual creative side of it and the

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 2>role side of it, and thinking, Okay, how am I

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 2>going to go about this role, and you know, and

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 2>the responsibility of kind of taking on such a large role,

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, and thinking you want to do it justice

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 2>and particularly because it's a medical role, thinking you know

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 2>about all of the research that you've got to do

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 2>and the work that you you know, that's the stuff

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I loved. So I was very excited about that. But yeah,

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 2>it sort of came at a time in my life

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.600
<v Speaker 2>where it was there was also a lot of logistics

0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 2>to work out.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, do you know what's really good research is having

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.159
<v Speaker 1>a baby in a hospital and then having that be

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>a recent thing so that you can kind of remember

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 1>the doctor faces that you know people are obviously pulling

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 1>during that experience, and then you can just mimic that.

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 2>I guess, oh, absolutely, I was paying attention to the

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.720
<v Speaker 2>doctor faces. No, I was. I was really lucky the

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Royal Flying Dupt Service in Melbourne invited me along to

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.039
<v Speaker 2>go and have a bit of a tour, which was

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 2>lovely because you know, we were obviously we're going to

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 2>be filming in Broken Hill, and I didn't know how

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.720
<v Speaker 2>much the lead time I was going to have once

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.279
<v Speaker 2>I arrived in Broken Hill to when we were actually

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 2>starting shooting. So to be invited along to meet a

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 2>flight nurse and to have a look at the aircraft

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 2>and to ask all the questions was very exciting and

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm very grateful to them for that. Miss Hannah was

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 2>visited by the Queen in nineteen fifty four, which is

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 2>how we got the official Royal in the Royal Flying

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:27.839
<v Speaker 2>Doctor title.

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.039
<v Speaker 1>How much of the Old Flying Doctors did you watch?

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, were you a fan of the original runs

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 1>of the show.

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh absolutely, I mean I don't.

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I think.

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.839
<v Speaker 2>I think every Australian is. It's sort of part of

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.280
<v Speaker 2>the when you're growing up, this sort of part of

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 2>the fabric of Australian television. You know, you have an

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 2>awareness of that show. It's so iconic. I've been very lucky,

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.040
<v Speaker 2>actually I've worked with a couple of the original cast

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, I've always been in awe of them because

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 2>it had that show has such a legacy and it's

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 2>still shown in some places in the world and people

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>still join the rf the real RFDS. Even now, people

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.360
<v Speaker 2>from like doctors from overseas will see the show and think, oh,

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe I'll go to Australia and I'll you know,

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 2>do a stint, you know, working with outback communities and

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 2>it's been wonderful for them, and it still has that

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 2>pull from that original show. So we knew going into

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 2>this that there was there was a lot of responsibility

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 2>because you're representing a real organization that do really important

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>work and it meant everything to us to try and

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 2>get it as accurate as we could and to as

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 2>truthful as we could, and to really do them proud,

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.679
<v Speaker 2>because if you do a show like this, it will

0:06:53.960 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 2>have sort of far reaching effects. This is people, we

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 2>have cod blue patients coning, we need a neurosurgeon on

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.839
<v Speaker 2>the phone and gear prep for a procedure in hangar

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 2>for whole What else do we need?

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I need the closest thing to a surgical trillion Again,

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 1>what surprised you about the character of doctor Eliza Harrod?

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Was very, very attractive and just really from the second

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I read the script, it just resonated with me. She's

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 2>someone who's well, she's a mum for a start, and

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 2>at that time I was when I was auditioning, I

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 2>was pregnant, so I was sort of relating to that

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 2>side of it. But you know the fact that she's

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 2>from the UK. I'm British as well. I'm a dual

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 2>citizen and I've lived over there for a long time,

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>so that world of living in London and everything like

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 2>that is extremely fresh for me. So I felt I

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.560
<v Speaker 2>could really relate to that and hopefully bring that to

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.400
<v Speaker 2>the role. I've never been a doctor, but I've always

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 2>been fascinated. But I am a bit squeamish, to be honest.

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I felt squeamish watching some of the some of the scenes.

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 2>I know, and I'm very grateful that for some of

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 2>the some of the particularly detailed shot, I'm not necessarily

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 2>present for all of the blood.

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>You need to make a cut from the top of

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the left here straight up, except do not cut over

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the midline.

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 3>Whatever you do, you could hit the superior saginal scientus.

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 1>What if I do that, you'll bleed to death. But

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 1>if you do nothing, she has no chance.

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Of survival, definitely for some But but yeah, it's there's

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of magic that comes to it from to

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 2>do a convincing medical drama, and a lot of different

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 2>departments are involved to bring that to life. It's not

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:52.840
<v Speaker 2>just us. There's a lot of people who are putting

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:54.440
<v Speaker 2>in a lot of time and a lot of effort

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 2>to make it, to make it realistic.

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Were there elements of your personality that you kind of

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 1>injected into the.

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 2>There's definitely some moments that, yeah, I can kind of

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 2>see myself in. I am a from a bit of

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a dag and there are some definitely

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 2>some daging moments. The bit where Eliza gets pulled up

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 2>on stage in episode one to dance on stage at

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 2>the pub, and she's very embarrassed to do that. I

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 2>can I can tell you that was very real.

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>It came naturally, It came very naturally.

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 2>I did not want to, Emma, Emma Hamilton, did not

0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 2>want to get up there and dance around. But because

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean we were still early and shooting, I didn't

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 2>know everybody very well. You're in a room full of

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 2>crew and cast and extras, and yeah, having to get

0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 2>up and dance around was I am a little shy,

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 2>and having to do that was was terrifying. And it

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 2>was one of those moments that sort of for a

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 2>lies it was really important because she she's taken the

0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 2>moment where she kind of lets go and actually really

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 2>has a moment of freedom and a little moment of

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 2>self revelation for herself and sort of comes alive a

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 2>little bit in that moment. And yeah, for me it

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 2>was it was interesting because I was also sort of

0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 2>letting go and thinking, Yep, let's just do this. It's

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:20.439
<v Speaker 2>not gonna be pretty, but let's just let's just get involved,

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.720
<v Speaker 2>ladies and get a huge Silver City Welcome to our us,

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 2>serosexual doctor Alt. She got some half dacent waves about you.

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I just thought that was incredible, though, I mean,

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about the fact that you had this ability

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 1>to be a bit daggy but then definitely knew what

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.080
<v Speaker 1>you were doing when you were pretending to be a doctor.

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 1>So like I wanted wanted to know, like, how hard

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>is it to actually look like you know what you

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 1>are doing as a doctor? Did you watch a lot

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>of grays Anatomy and look at Alan Pompeio, like, how

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.839
<v Speaker 1>do you how do you look so convincing being a doctor?

0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.359
<v Speaker 2>You're right, well, I mean all all of the things,

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 2>you know. I did a lot of reading and listened

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 2>to some great audio books written by surgeons and things

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 2>like that to kind of get a feel for it.

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.320
<v Speaker 2>I did watch some tally. I actually watched I Binge

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 2>watched all of the episodes of The Surgeon, which actually

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:20.800
<v Speaker 2>starts justin Clark, and that was That's an incredible series.

0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 2>If you haven't seen it, definitely watch it. Do you

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.200
<v Speaker 2>think she can handle a debridement now and another one tomorrow?

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Could be joking.

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.320
<v Speaker 1>This girl's already septic, and she's on nor adrenaline to

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:31.679
<v Speaker 1>maintain any blood pressure at all.

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 2>She's incredibly fit. Surely you can keep a stable for

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 2>a few hours. Death then why don't you do it? Eve?

0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 3>If it's that easy.

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to save Lee, trying to.

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Save her life.

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.560
<v Speaker 2>That was fabulous watching the surgeon, But like I was

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 2>just saying before, there were so many people who were

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.599
<v Speaker 2>there to help us get it right. We had a

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 2>medical advisor on set at all times so we could ask.

0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.679
<v Speaker 2>We were able to rehearse a little bit, so we

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.960
<v Speaker 2>actually had a cent of the equipment. What we're doing.

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Can I touch this? Is this sanitor? And would I

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 2>be wearing you know, would I be wearing gloves? You know,

0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 2>those sort of questions. But you know, you've also got

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:12.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, the makeup department, who are who bring the

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 2>prosthetics and make sure that everything looks right. You've got department,

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.839
<v Speaker 2>You've got props, You've got all these people who are

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 2>bringing the best of and that they are the best

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 2>of the best. These the people who were working on RDS,

0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 2>They're fabulous. They everything goes into the into the pie,

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 2>as it were, all the ingredients to help create a

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 2>medical scene. It's a huge collaborative effort. Looks so you're

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:40.559
<v Speaker 2>having this.

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 3>Baby up here?

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>My god, I'm not ready hard stopping New Australian drama.

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Who are some of your actor inspirations like over time,

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, not necessarily for this show, but you know

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:56.480
<v Speaker 1>you as an actor.

0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 2>I've always really admired. Well, I'm Cate Blanchet, and Kate

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.559
<v Speaker 2>Winslet's a big icon for me. I think she's fabulous.

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.360
<v Speaker 2>I actually met her once and I tell me she came.

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 2>She came to see a play I was in, and yeah,

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 2>it was it was quite quite amazing. She just sort

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.599
<v Speaker 2>of came over to say hello, and I didn't know

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 2>what to say. And another person I was in the

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 2>show with the fabulous, fabulous actress Kate particularly wanted to

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 2>tell her how moved she was by her performance, which

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 2>was incredibly moving. And as it happened, this particular actress

0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't recognize Kate Winsland at the time, and Kate sort

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:45.719
<v Speaker 2>of sitting there saying, you're amazing, You're music, and I'm

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 2>standing there thinking, oh my god, it's Kate Winslet, It's

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Kate Winslocks.

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 3>And then eventually the penny dropped and this actress went, oh,

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.720
<v Speaker 3>you're the Winslet and sort of waved her hands because

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.440
<v Speaker 3>it had just in a daggy wait like she just

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:02.400
<v Speaker 3>sort of figured it out.

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 2>I think Kate was very very cool about it and

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.480
<v Speaker 2>sort of went, oh, yes I am, and then kind

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:09.680
<v Speaker 2>of walked off. But that was my that was my

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 2>brush with Kate. What is it?

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.719
<v Speaker 1>What do you look for in a role? Is there

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.360
<v Speaker 1>like a criteria that you have that you that you

0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 1>try to seek ount I.

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Suppose I try to when I read a script, I

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 2>try to see if I if there's an inn if

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 2>there's something about the character that that resonates that I

0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 2>think could be a way into understanding them and to yeah,

0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.080
<v Speaker 2>to find to finding how to play them, because you know,

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 2>often I've played a lot of characters that that are

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 2>very different to me, and if you can find your

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 2>way in, then that's that's the joy of kind of

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 2>finding out how someone else ticks and why they make

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 2>the choices that they do.

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.200
<v Speaker 1>You kind of own this character, which I made me think,

0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.280
<v Speaker 1>did you know when you picked up the script and

0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 1>you were auditioning that this one kind of felt like.

0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 2>You, Yeah, there was a residence there, And I thought,

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I think I recognized a lot of things in Eliza

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:08.200
<v Speaker 2>and thought she's someone that I think I could I

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.720
<v Speaker 2>could play. She's someone I really want to get to

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:14.880
<v Speaker 2>know and bring to life. That was pretty instant. It

0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 2>was pretty instant. It was one of those times when

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.720
<v Speaker 2>a script comes through and you think, oh, wow, this

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:23.320
<v Speaker 2>is amazing, this is amazing, and then you think and

0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 2>then you think, because you want it so much, you think, oh,

0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I want it too much. Now I'm done. I'm done.

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 2>It's not going to go my way because I want

0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 2>it to. Yeah, it was just everything about the script

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 2>just divine, all the characters, the world just I loved

0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:42.840
<v Speaker 2>it from the very beginning.

0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, the love scenes were really convincing.

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it does get a little bit spiney. My aunt

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.520
<v Speaker 2>rang me up on the phone when after she watched

0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:52.680
<v Speaker 2>the first episode and she.

0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.040
<v Speaker 3>Was like, well, I don't think that they had to

0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 3>get into bed straight away.

0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.800
<v Speaker 2>I think, I don't know. I don't I don't know

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.920
<v Speaker 2>that I'm happy about that. And I was like, well,

0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 2>how the story is going.

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Like that's just kind of how it works, mate.

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I actually, I actually really like the way they

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.440
<v Speaker 2>put the twist on it that way, because usually if

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 2>there's if there's sort of a connection, a romantic connection,

0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.840
<v Speaker 2>frequently they'll draw you know, a TV series will draw

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:24.320
<v Speaker 2>that out, whereas this one you know, it's it's fireworks,

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.960
<v Speaker 2>and then all of these other things transpire to kind

0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 2>of flip that and it was really refreshing to do,

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.600
<v Speaker 2>to play that romantic connection but in that order and

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.880
<v Speaker 2>with all those things happening, because to me, that happens

0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 2>in real life.

0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's what I was going to say.

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you jump in with both feet before you've sought

0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.560
<v Speaker 2>it through. And I think, you know, hopefully a few

0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:55.800
<v Speaker 2>people will will relate to that. I have just the

0:16:55.840 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 2>one first man, not me and Dad would in years

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:07.440
<v Speaker 2>and there was drag queens and brain surgery and oh wow, anyway,

0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:09.159
<v Speaker 2>who am I?

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, there was a long flight. I'm going to use

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.359
<v Speaker 1>that as the turn of phrase. There was a bit

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 1>of a long flight from the show being green let

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 1>to you know, getting to screen. What were some of

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 1>those hurdles that you guys came across getting this show.

0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Made, getting it off the ground.

0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let's keep going.

0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think, well, look, I mean the obvious one's COVID.

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, originally we went to start shooting I think

0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it was April last year, but you know

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.240
<v Speaker 2>the world was up, it was turned upside down in

0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:45.440
<v Speaker 2>March and we got the word that things were going

0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 2>to be. You know, at first we heard okay, the

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.240
<v Speaker 2>production officers up and running and broken hill, and we

0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.399
<v Speaker 2>all thought, okay, well, how's this going to work? And

0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 2>then and then it got delayed and we didn't we

0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.960
<v Speaker 2>didn't know what that meant. And I, you know, we

0:17:58.000 --> 0:17:59.959
<v Speaker 2>didn't know if we were going to get the word

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.399
<v Speaker 2>that it was all over, it wasn't going to happen.

0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 2>We didn't know. Like the rest of the world, none

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.080
<v Speaker 2>of us knew what was going on. And then eventually

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.359
<v Speaker 2>we got the good news that we were actually going

0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:16.480
<v Speaker 2>to go. And then for me, we got the word

0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:20.639
<v Speaker 2>that was going ahead in July. And then suddenly the

0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:24.840
<v Speaker 2>outbreak happened in Victoria, and you know, Victoria started to

0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:27.960
<v Speaker 2>close its borders to New South Wales for the major lockdown,

0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:29.320
<v Speaker 2>which we didn't know it was going to be a

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:32.800
<v Speaker 2>major lockdown at that point. And I got the call

0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 2>that morning, you need to get into New South Wales now,

0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.280
<v Speaker 2>you need to leave now. So I had to pack

0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:43.200
<v Speaker 2>up my four month old and jump on a plane.

0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 2>But fortunately, yeah, and then we got to Sydney and

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.720
<v Speaker 2>we quarantined for two weeks and we did our isolation

0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:54.320
<v Speaker 2>and all of the official stuff, which is very very important,

0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:56.600
<v Speaker 2>and the production were really great about it, and I

0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:58.959
<v Speaker 2>think that's partly why we were able to go ahead,

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:03.440
<v Speaker 2>is because our juices and you know, animals shine and

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 2>everyone was so meticulous about protecting not only our production

0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.639
<v Speaker 2>and everybody involved in the production, but also protecting the

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.880
<v Speaker 2>community out there. We definitely did not want to bring

0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:19.960
<v Speaker 2>anything into the Broken Hill community, and so you know,

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:22.520
<v Speaker 2>everybody had to isolate. Everybody had to cross their t's

0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.080
<v Speaker 2>and dot their eyes and follow the protocol and we

0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:27.320
<v Speaker 2>had it. We had a COVID, We had a COVID

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:31.880
<v Speaker 2>officer on set every day and he referred to himself

0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 2>as our COVID coach, which was awesome.

0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, I remember I was at the Channel seven upfronts

0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:38.920
<v Speaker 1>when it was announced and it was just some footage

0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.760
<v Speaker 1>of a plane and Justin Clark narrating it. I don't

0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:43.199
<v Speaker 1>know if you remember that. I don't know if you

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.919
<v Speaker 1>saw that which the Channel seven upfront where they preview

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:47.960
<v Speaker 1>things that are coming out, and I'm I feel like

0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:50.159
<v Speaker 1>there was like two or three years ago when we

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:52.040
<v Speaker 1>first saw that, you know, so it was a really

0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:55.840
<v Speaker 1>long road to having the show being greenlit and then

0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:57.879
<v Speaker 1>getting us to be able to watch it all, so

0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 1>there was worth the weight. Though I'm going to say

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I know it was a long road.

0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:03.600
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't privy to a lot of that because I

0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.600
<v Speaker 2>sort of came in later on in the piece. But yes,

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:09.760
<v Speaker 2>it sounds like it was a long road to put

0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 2>it together. And I think, look, getting anything, getting anything

0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:17.600
<v Speaker 2>off the ground in Australia has its challenges, and you know,

0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 2>we're very lucky that things aligned global pandemics aside, we

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.960
<v Speaker 2>managed to keep going. There was no incident, We got

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.399
<v Speaker 2>through it without any trouble. And yeah, we've got to

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.600
<v Speaker 2>show that we're all really proud of and just really

0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 2>hope that Australian audiences connect with and get behind and

0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:39.600
<v Speaker 2>hopefully we'll get a chance to make some more.

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Well are we going to see more? Because I've watched

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.240
<v Speaker 1>the Cliffhanger now three times, like I mentioned at the start,

0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:47.640
<v Speaker 1>of watching the whole series through, and it was amazing,

0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:49.439
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just I just want to know, do you

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:51.680
<v Speaker 1>know do you even know we're getting Are we getting more?

0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Ah? Nothing nothing confirmed at this stage. Every one of

0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.719
<v Speaker 2>us is crossing our fingers and toes and and legs

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.520
<v Speaker 2>and hoping that it does. We had such a great

0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:07.440
<v Speaker 2>time making it, and I hope, I hope that comes through.

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.600
<v Speaker 2>It's not every day that you do a show where

0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:15.919
<v Speaker 2>the entire cast and crew get on and really enjoy

0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:18.840
<v Speaker 2>coming to work and you know, enjoy the work and

0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:21.440
<v Speaker 2>have a good time. And it really was an absolute

0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:23.840
<v Speaker 2>joy from beginning to end. I think we'd all just

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:26.320
<v Speaker 2>love to make some more and tell some more stories

0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:28.080
<v Speaker 2>because there are so many stories.

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:30.439
<v Speaker 1>There's so much more to do. I mean, I'm annoyed

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:33.000
<v Speaker 1>there was only as many episodes as there was because

0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what, I'm like, I need some more and

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to know who out of the cast have

0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.560
<v Speaker 1>you formed lifelong friendships with. I mean, I'm mildly obsessed

0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:44.000
<v Speaker 1>with Justin Clark, and that's probably why, you know. I

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 1>hope no one's having a drink every time I mentioned

0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 1>her name through this interview, because they'll be drunk by now.

0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:51.639
<v Speaker 1>But please tell me you've become real life BFFs.

0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:56.760
<v Speaker 2>I am mildly obsessed with Justin Clark myself, and I'm

0:21:56.880 --> 0:22:00.880
<v Speaker 2>genuinely serious. She's an absolutely divine human being, absolutely gorgeous,

0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:06.000
<v Speaker 2>phenomenal actress, wonderful singer, and just amazing human. I'm I'm

0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:09.720
<v Speaker 2>a huge fan of her and I took my little

0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:11.399
<v Speaker 2>boy to go and see her in concert at the

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:15.879
<v Speaker 2>My Music Ball and that was really fun. But because

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:19.159
<v Speaker 2>of COVID, we haven't been able to get together. We

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:24.440
<v Speaker 2>weren't even able to get together really to have a

0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:30.040
<v Speaker 2>sort of a premiere Hello. We had a cast zoom

0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:32.639
<v Speaker 2>ahead of the airing of the first show, which was

0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:38.280
<v Speaker 2>amazing and just so gorgeous to see everybody. But it

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 2>was a bit like a family Christmas dinner in that

0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 2>no one could get a word in edgewords and everybody

0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:45.399
<v Speaker 2>was just chatting and it was just it was just

0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:46.760
<v Speaker 2>so lovely to see everybody.

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.439
<v Speaker 1>One of my questions that I ask all of my

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:52.119
<v Speaker 1>guests before they go is what is an amazing story

0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:55.240
<v Speaker 1>from behind the scenes that we as an audience might appreciate,

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:57.320
<v Speaker 1>something we didn't see on the show, something we might

0:22:57.359 --> 0:23:00.439
<v Speaker 1>not have ever known. Can you share with us something

0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:02.679
<v Speaker 1>that might have happened behind the scenes.

0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Definitely, definitely. Well, I wouldn't say it's funny, but this

0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:10.440
<v Speaker 2>is the kind of thing that would happen quite regularly

0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:13.320
<v Speaker 2>because we were shooting on an active base. This is

0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:16.960
<v Speaker 2>the real actors are. They're doing their actual job, and

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:20.160
<v Speaker 2>they were kind enough and patient enough to have us

0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:21.760
<v Speaker 2>filming there at the same time. We were in a

0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:26.200
<v Speaker 2>separate area, but they but they were going about their

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:32.240
<v Speaker 2>actual job of actually saving lives, and so fre you know,

0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:36.560
<v Speaker 2>our paths would cross and all the time. So I

0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:39.160
<v Speaker 2>vividly remember one night. It was a night shoot, and

0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:41.640
<v Speaker 2>there's sort of you'll see in the show, there's sort

0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:45.040
<v Speaker 2>of clinic doors that open out onto the tarmac that

0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:47.800
<v Speaker 2>go into sort of the hospital clinic area, and I

0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:50.560
<v Speaker 2>was sort of standing near my character was sort of

0:23:50.560 --> 0:23:54.200
<v Speaker 2>standing in the door, and over on my right at

0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:58.000
<v Speaker 2>the other hangar, there was a plane and Deve's character

0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Pete was taking up and putting the patient into an ambulance,

0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:04.600
<v Speaker 2>and so, you know, so I'm standing there and I'm

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:07.639
<v Speaker 2>watching this, but directly in front of me is a

0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:11.040
<v Speaker 2>plane with the real RFTS getting the patient off the

0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:14.119
<v Speaker 2>plane and putting them into a real ambulance. And it

0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:17.800
<v Speaker 2>looked like a mirror image. What we were doing over

0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:20.199
<v Speaker 2>here looked exactly the same as what was happening in

0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:22.640
<v Speaker 2>front of me, except one was real and one wasn't.

0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:26.720
<v Speaker 2>And it made the hair on your arms stand on edge. Meanwhile,

0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:29.119
<v Speaker 2>the real after just a kind of walking past me

0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:31.040
<v Speaker 2>in and out of the clinic doors, and I'm sort

0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:35.320
<v Speaker 2>of saying, you know, it's everything, okay, it's the patient, right,

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:37.720
<v Speaker 2>and they're saying, yeah, yeah, you know, it's fine, you know,

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:41.480
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, And that was happening while we're shooting. So

0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:45.560
<v Speaker 2>there was a real sense of, I don't know that

0:24:45.640 --> 0:24:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the gravity of what we were doing and the importance

0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:51.080
<v Speaker 2>of what we were doing, and how important it was

0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 2>for us to tell their story properly and to tell

0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:59.960
<v Speaker 2>it accurately and to not you know, overegg the pudding,

0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:04.120
<v Speaker 2>because we wanted to do them justice, because we were

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 2>watching them and seeing what they were doing every day

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:10.040
<v Speaker 2>right next week,
