Ray J Countersues Kim Kardashian & Kris Jenner, Claims Mom-Daughter Duo Spent Decades’ Saying S3x Tape Was Leaked’ When It Was Filmed & Distributed w/ Mutual Agreement

Over 20 years later, and we’re still discussing #RayJ and Kim Kardashian’s s3x tape.

Ray J has slammed #KimKardashian and #KrisJenner in new legal documents that serve as his rebuttal to a defamation suit they recently filed against him.

In the filing, obtained by TMZ, Ray J claims the 2003 s3x tape (released in 2007) between him and Kim was not leaked without her consent but was instead “consensually shot” and released with Kim’s and Kris’s involvement. He argues they have “spent two decades peddling the false story that the sex tape … was leaked against her will.”

According to Ray, the arrangement involved Kim insisting that her mom Kris oversee the tape’s release and commercial exploitation. He says the lawsuit filed by the Kardashians is not about defamation at all but is really a power move: “it’s about publicity, power, and punishment.”

The docs also assert that Ray J and Kim reached a settlement where #KimK paid him $6 million and agreed to avoid public references to the tape, a clause Ray claims the #Kardashians violated almost immediately.

Filed by attorney Howard King, Ray’s countersuit contends that Kim and Kris were “furious” when he refused to go along with what he sees as their long-run narrative. “They’re trying to weaponize the judicial system, shirk their contractual obligations, and sacrifice on the altar of fame,” Ray argues in the docs. He claims he’s entitled to $1 million in damages.

Where was The Sunshine Murders filmed? 5 crime drama location guide

written by jummy84

If you’re looking for a new cosy crime series to get stuck into, The Sunshine Murders might be one for you.

The drama, now available to stream on My5, follows an unlikely crime fighting duo made up of two sisters who have never met before.

The series kicks off with Shirley (Emily Corcoran), a farmer from New Zealand, travelling to Athens and meeting her half-sister, detective Helen (Dora Chrysikou). The pair soon develop and unlikely way of solving crime, aided by Peter Andre’s pathologist, Dr George Constantinos.

The series is set amidst the backdrop of the Mediterranean, offering a sunny escape as audiences enter the winter months.

“We needed to find a location that gave that really great level of escapism and the variety and diversity for the audience at home who may be sitting in the living room while it’s raining outside,” creator Emily Corcoran told RadioTimes.com and other press.

So, where was The Sunshine Murders filmed? Scroll on to find out more.

The Sunshine Murders was filmed across several locations in the Mediterranean and in the UK.

The sun-soaked mystery was set in New Zealand, Greece and Cyprus, with filming taking place in the latter two countries and in the United Kingdom.

Read on for a breakdown of some of the filming locations in The Sunshine Murders.

Paphos, Cyprus

The final two episodes of The Sunshine Murders were filmed in Paphos in Cyprus, specifically Asimina Suites Hotel, a luxury five star-property part of the Constantinou Bros Hotels.

“It was an honour to welcome the production of The Sunshine Murders to our hotel,” said Aristos Diomedous, general manager, on behalf of Constantinou Bros Hotels. “Partnerships like this not only showcase this superb property but also highlight Cyprus as a world-class filming and holiday destination.”

In addition to the three key cast members, Stephanie Beacham, Camilla Rutherford, Nina Wadia, Marina Sirtis, Alexander Vlahos and Nick Moran all featured in the episodes filmed in Cyprus.

Larnaca, Cyprus

When not filmed in the hotel, the production explored Cyprus further, especially when a “murder” took place.

Corcoran explained that as part of the agreement to film in Asimina Suites Hotel, no one was allowed to be fictionally killed, and so the crew filmed near a cliffside in Larnaca.

She told RadioTimes.com and other press of choosing Cyprus as a filming location: “Initially, I gravitated towards Cyprus for more practical reasons, which is becoming much more common now in television. Like many TV shows, well more and more, we are independently financed, so we’re an independent production, and so we have to kind of find ways to piece the financing together. And it was fairly modestly budgeted as well.

“And we found the Cypriots in general to be extremely enthusiastic, and all of the local businesses as well were.”

The Sunshine Murders is available to watch on My5.

bitchy | Duchess Meghan filmed a ‘small cameo role’ in a movie in LA this week

by jummy84 November 7, 2025
written by jummy84

Late Tuesday and early Wednesday, Page Six published a trilogy of stories about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, all of them sourced and promoted from Kensington Palace. Prince William is not slick in the least, and the tabloid stories were part of William’s emotional-support smearing! In one of the stories, a “Hollywood source” swore up and down that people in LA absolutely hate Harry and Meghan, and that no one wants to work with them. Not even 24 hours later, the Sun and the LA trade papers got the tip that Meghan was actually at a studio, filming a small role in a movie with Brie Larson and Lily Collins. Hahahaha. From the Sun, an outlet which put this story on their cover (hahaha).

Stars will welcome back the Duchess of Sussex as she shoots a Hollywood movie. Lily Collins, Brie Larson, Jack Quaid — son of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid — and Brit Henry Golding are among those filming Close Personal Friends.

Meghan, who announced her retirement from acting eight years ago, is on set today in Pasadena, LA, playing herself in the Amazon MGM Studios production about two couples, one famous and the other not.

Last night a studio source said: “This is a massive moment for Meghan and signifies a return to doing what she truly loves. She has been swamped with offers but this one felt right. It is Meghan’s way of gently putting her toe back in the water and seeing how she enjoys being back on set. Everyone involved is super-excited, and have been sworn to secrecy about her involvement. Prince Harry is, of course, really supportive and quite simply wants Meghan to do whatever brings her joy.”

[From The Sun]

Not “she has been swamped with offers”!!! Not an admission that people in LA love Meghan and want her to work on their films and TV projects! My god, this is so funny. What else… Variety confirmed the Sun’s story and they said Meghan filmed a “small cameo role” in the film about “a ‘regular’ couple that meets a celebrity couple while on a trip to Santa Barbara. When the two couples become friends, lines are crossed and things get awkward.” What’s crazy about that is… why not film Meghan’s cameo IN Santa Barbara, close to where she lives? Why did they ask her to schlep to the studio?? Anyway, People Magazine had this exclusive as well:

Meghan Markle’s newest role has her feeling “very relaxed and happy.” After eight years away from acting in film and television productions, the Duchess of Sussex is now working on a movie featuring stars Lily Collins and Brie Larson, an insider confirms to PEOPLE on Wednesday, Nov. 5. The Sun was first to report the news of Meghan’s new project after she was seen on the set of Amazon MGM Studios’ Close Personal Friends in Pasadena, Calif.

“Meghan was on the set today,” the insider exclusively tells PEOPLE, adding that Meghan has a small role in the project.

“She seemed very relaxed and happy,” the insider continued. “She introduced herself to everyone and was very sweet and down-to-earth.”

[From People]

Going from what I know about Lily Collins and Brie Larson, I bet both women were super-excited to see Meghan. Brie is very hippie/nature/granola, and I feel like Meghan definitely has that side to her too. Lily is a big deal over at Netflix (Emily in Paris) and so is Meghan, so they probably talked business. Anyway, it is cracking me up that Meghan was on a studio set in LA on the same day as Prince William’s Earthshot AND Harry was doing events in Toronto as well.

Riot Women locations: Where was the new BBC drama filmed?

Riot Women locations: Where was the new BBC drama filmed?

by jummy84 October 15, 2025
written by jummy84

In the BBC’s new drama Riot Women, a local community becomes the centrepiece of a musical revolution, thanks to five women who form a punk rock band.

Tired of living as “women of a certain age,” and driven by a bubbling mix of rage and disdain born from their simultaneously manic and mundane lives, the band becomes a life raft for everyone involved — giving them a renewed sense of self they haven’t felt in years.

But not everyone is on board. Loved ones and fellow locals are divided, with some baffled and others firmly opposed to their new hobby — and their unexpected lifeline.

“It’s very personal for me this,” creator, writer and lead director Sally Wainwright told BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour. “It’s a lot about what I was going through at what [actress] Tamsin [Greig] very eloquently called \the middle squeeze.”

She added: “It’s just about midlife – menopause is just an aspect of that – and I wanted to find a way of writing about this part of your life in a way that was uplifting and engaging and interesting.

“It’s about women who find something very creative and very engaging to do together and how it changes their lives.”

Read more:

Wainwright echoed those thoughts in a first-person piece for Vogue.

“The show celebrates women who deal with life’s slings and arrows, and who’ve found a way to get through by writing and performing songs that leave you in no doubt about how they feel,” she wrote.

“Punk is rebellion. Anger. Taking the p*ss. That’s what these women realise they can do, having started the band for a laugh to enter a local talent contest to raise money for charity – and through rehearsing an ABBA song badly, they start to find a voice.”

As is often the case with many of Wainwright’s dramas, the setting plays a key role in establishing the feel and tone of the piece.

Here’s everything you need to know about where Riot Women was filmed.

Hebden Bridge

Riot Women is set and filmed in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire — the same town that inspired Sally Wainwright’s acclaimed series Happy Valley.

The area has also served as the backdrop for Wainwright’s Gentleman Jack and Last Tango in Halifax. Speaking on her decision to return, Wainwright said:

“It’s a story that could really be set anywhere, to be honest, but I like writing in my own vernacular because I think it brings more comedy. You can’t beat the landscape in Hebden Bridge.

“Riot Women is even more Hebden-centric than Happy Valley was, as we filmed extensively around the town. It looks gorgeous on camera, and you get a strong sense of place — which is vital in making a TV show feel authentic.

“It has a very particular atmosphere, and that comes from being rooted in a specific part of the world.”

Lorraine Ashbourne, who plays pub landlady Jess, said that she “fell in love with Hebden Bridge.”

“It’s idyllic and Sally choosing to set her story in this beautiful, thriving little corner of the world where all this drama plays out, is very clever,” she added.

“Riot Women looks at the importance of companionship and the joy of friendship. It’s about being given a second chance and fulfilling dreams. It’s a unique angle on female empowerment. It’s a celebration!”

Duke of Wellington Pub

The Duke of Wellington plays a key role throughout the series. Home to Jess, it hosts many important scenes and becomes the band’s rehearsal space.

In reality, the pub is The Albert — or “The Famous Albert” — located in the heart of Hebden Bridge. Known for its triangular shape, it has become a local landmark.

Calderdale Royal Hospital

In episode five, more than one of the Riot Women finds themselves in need of A&E, with much of the episode filmed inside Calderdale Royal Hospital.

Talent Show Hall

The band’s journey begins with a local talent show, and a simple ABBA cover becomes their rallying point. The competition is a big moment for the group.

Filming took place at St Michael’s Church Hall in Mytholmroyd.

Riot Women airs Sunday 12th October at 9pm on BBC One, with all episodes available to stream on BBC iPlayer from 6am.

Downton Abbey BTS clip reveals how racing scenes were filmed

Downton Abbey BTS clip reveals how racing scenes were filmed

by jummy84 October 13, 2025
written by jummy84

Just over a month after it arrived in UK cinemas, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is now available to rent and buy on digital platforms – and to celebrate the release, we’ve got an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip giving us a new look at how the movie’s racing scenes were filmed.

It turns out that rather than being filmed at Royal Ascot – where the scenes were set – production actually took place more than 200 miles away at Ripon Racecourse in North Yorkshire.

Alongside footage showing the camera crew hard at work, the clip also includes interviews with the cast, including Lady Mary star Michelle Dockery, who says: “Today we’re filming the scenes at Ascot, but we’re actually at Ripon.

“It’s kind of one of the main events of the film, where the family come together and they go to the races and it’s a really exciting day for everyone.”

Meanwhile, franchise newcomer Alessandro Nivola – who has a key role in the film as somewhat dodgy financial advisor Gus Sambrook – explains: “This is a beautiful old racetrack that’s meant to double for Royal Ascot, which has been renovated since the period of the movie.”

Production designer Donal Woods further details why the change of location was made, revealing that “the real Ascot looks like Terminal 5” and that it is now a “huge skyscraper of a building”.

He continues: “Ripon’s still got a lot of period features so not every shot had to be CGI [or] had to be green-screened. And it’s a very quiet course, I mean, we’re now in the middle of the flat-racing season and we had four days filming plus two days to prep – so we needed a clear time frame to actually create the physical side of Royal Ascot that we’re building.”

Since its release in cinemas, the film – which draws the curtain on the hugely popular period drama after six seasons of the TV show and two previous movies – has gone down very well with long-time fans, while also attracting broadly positive reviews from critics.

In our verdict, we called it a “pleasant stroll with characters you know and love” while also remarking on how it ended “with a touching dedication to the legendary actress” Dame Maggie Smith, who memorably played Lady Violet Crawley and sadly passed away last year.

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is now available to buy or rent exclusively on digital platforms and is also still showing in some UK cinemas.

Where it Was Filmed & True Story of Kevin McKay – Hollywood Life

by jummy84 October 8, 2025

Image Credit: Apple TV+

California’s wildfires have gripped the nation in years. Dry conditions have made it difficult for the West Coast to prevent and contain them. Nine months after a string of infernos destroyed multiple Los Angeles County towns, Apple TV+’s The Lost Bus, starring Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera, premiered, focusing on the 2018 Camp Fire, which burned the Northern California town of Paradise.

Considered the state’s deadliest wildfire to date, with 85 casualties, the Camp Fire started from a failed Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (PG&E) transmission line. The blaze destroyed more than 18,000 structures and displaced more than 50,000 people in the area. Smoke blanketed neighboring counties for nearly three weeks before the fire was contained.

Below, Hollywood Life explains the true story behind The Lost Bus, where the production was filmed and more about the cast.

Where Was The Lost Bus Filmed? Movie Location

Thought it takes place in the town of Paradise, California, where the Camp Fire ravaged, The Lost Bus was filmed in Ruidoso, New Mexico.

The True Story Behind The Lost Bus Movie: Who Is Kevin McKay?

Kevin McKay, played by McConaughey, was a real bus driver who inspired the on-screen character. The film was directly based on one story from Lizzie Johnson‘s 2021 book, Paradise: One Town’s Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire.

November 8, 2018, McKay responded to an emergency call about 22 children and two teachers who needed to be evacuated from Ponderosa Elementary school from a fast-moving wildfire. McKay drove them for five hours through 30 miles of thick smoke and fire until they were safe, he told CBS News that year. The two schoolteachers with McKay used ripped pieces of his shirt to help avoid breathing in the smoke.

Unlike his character in the film, McKay’s real-life family had already evacuated when he answered the emergency call.

“I just knew that things were going to continue to escalate,” McKay told CBS in 2018. “We didn’t leave until every kid was accounted for, and every kid was with their mom and dad.”

The second schoolteacher did not want to be involved the film, so only Ferrera’s character, Mary Ludwig, is portrayed on screen.

The Lost Bus Movie Cast & Characters

In addition to McConaughey’s McKay and Ferrera’s Ludwig, the rest of the cast features Yul Vazquez as Ray Martinez, the Cal Fire Division chief, Ashlie Atkinson as Ruby, the bus depot dispatcher, Levi McConaughey (McConaughey’s real-life son) as Shaun McKay, Kevin’s son, Kay McCabe McConaughey (McConaughey’s real-life mother) as Sherry McKay, Kate Wharton as Jen Kissoon, the Cal Fire battalion chief, Danny McCarthy as McKenzie, Spencer Watson as Hopkins, Nathan Gariety as Levi and Gary Kraus as Sheriff Thomas.

Where was Frauds filmed? Location guide for ITV drama

To secure a life-changing fee, they enlist a heist crew in true genre style, each of whom has their own set of skills – and their own stock of dangerous baggage that could derail the plan entirely.

If the cinematic setting of Frauds has left you dreaming of your own sunny escape, here’s your guide to where the comical ITV thriller is set (and the location where it was actually filmed).

Where is ITV’s Frauds filmed?

Jodie Whittaker and Suranne Jones star in Frauds. ITV / Monumental Television

ITV drama Frauds was filmed in Tenerife, a Spanish island and popular tourist destination located off the coast of northwest Africa.

However, Tenerife is not playing itself in Frauds (so to speak), as the story of the show is set in mainland Spain; specifically, the southern province of Málaga, where co-creator Anne-Marie O’Connor has spent a significant amount of time.

She told press that she was excited by the “spaghetti western feel” that the area can provide, adding that “there’s a real otherness to it, a dry heat and that kind of outlaw feel you get in places like Las Vegas”.

O’Connor continued: “Even in famous places like Marbella, where you turn up and everything’s catered for, actually you just need to scratch the surface and it can be lawless.”

When scouting for shooting locations, executive producer Katie Kelly echoed the need for both a “glistening” outward appearance and a lesser known “underbelly” to tell the story that O’Connor and co-writer Suranne Jones had planned.

“Shooting in Tenerife offered us everything we needed and more,” she added, explaining why the popular Canary Islands destination was used as a substitute for Málaga.

“In a small area you can have a sort of Costa del Sol beachside strip full of clubs… and then suddenly you can find yourself in what looks like an old Spanish town or up in lush, verdant mountains.”

Frauds co-star Jodie Whittaker shared that enthusiasm for Tenerife, telling press that she found it an “incredible” place to work, describing travel for location shoots as one of the “great” things about her job.

“It was stunning,” she recalled. “My house was in a little town called La Laguna up in the north. It is literally gonna be in my top five places in life, I loved it so much.”

Whittaker noted that she had been to Tenerife on family holidays many years ago, but had never spent any significant amount of time in the north of the island, where she found the city of Santa Cruz to be another “brilliant” highlight.

The sub-tropical climate and western-style landscapes certainly give Frauds a distinct look among an occasionally homogenous TV landscape, but for O’Connor “it just felt like a really good place for a load of cons to be hanging out”.

She concluded: “It’s a part of the world that we think we know as British people… but we also don’t know it.”

Frauds premieres ITV1 and ITVX on Sunday 5th October 2025.

Coldwater location guide: Where was the ITV thriller filmed?

Coldwater location guide: Where was the ITV thriller filmed?

by jummy84 September 29, 2025
written by jummy84

While it seems they have hit the jackpot, John soon finds himself entangled in a series of horrific acts that he can’t get himself out of. But the events are made all the more worse by the feel of the warm and inviting village and their friendly locals.

With such an impressive backdrop and so much chaos, just where did all the action take place?

Here’s what you need to know about where Coldwater was filmed.

Where was Coldwater filmed? All the major locations

Thankfully, Coldwater is a fictional Scottish town, created just for the show. The location was therefore a composite of areas in and around Glasgow.

Speaking of the decision to set the story there, Ireland explained: “I’ve always loved small towns in Scotland and I’ve always wanted to live in one but never had the chance to.

“I love a lot of small towns in Northern Ireland so Coldwater is my little fantasy. You’ve got the beautiful Church, beautiful coffee shops… it’s an idealised version of rural Scotland.

“Everybody is friendly, and a little bit strange. Everyone knows your business and people don’t seem to judge you, but maybe they do.

“My life bringing up a family in Scotland, I was trying to get away from writing about violence, tribalism and identity and all the issues in my other work, but I couldn’t escape it,” he added.

Eve Myles, who plays John and Fiona’s neighbour Rebecca, also discussed how the setting ties into Ireland’s narrative (via The Mirror).

“I think the lay of the land and the precinct is incredibly important to this because the character John runs away from the hustle and bustle of London and is running away from his problems only to land in the jaw of the biggest monster of his life in this idyllic, beautiful setting that intoxicates us with its beauty and the mystery of it,” she said. “And how ethereal the land is in Scotland, only to find what John and his family find in a tiny, tiny nook of it.

“So it’s about not judging things by its cover but the cover is very enticing and seductive.”

Myles added: “What the show does really well is that it goes against any sorts of expectations and surprises you with those reveals.”

Ewen Bremner, who plays Rebecca’s husband Tommy, went on to talk about the “power” that Scotland holds “in the minds of Southerners, especially in London”, adding: “It has ancient, mythical significance.”

Speaking to The Sunday Post, he said that is was “really pleasurable to see how much Eve, Indira and Andrew fell in love with Glasgow”.

“They just completely fell head over heels,” he continued.

“And we were eating some fantastic food. We’d all very frequently be meeting up after work to have a nice meal.”

Here’s a breakdown of the main areas they used.

Dunlop, East Ayrshire

Dunlop is a small village around 20 miles southeast of Glasgow city. It is where the main external scenes were filmed of Coldwater, and is home to the church, which proves central to the community on the show.

The area prides itself on local produce, including its own cheese shop, as well as a selection of independently owned stores, and of course, the local pub, The Smuggler’s Inn.

Director Lee Haven Jones said of the village: “The key thing for me was to make the place as real as possible. We have to understand why John and Fiona want to live in this rather lovely village, because they’ve come from London and they’re in search of a new life.

“So it was really important that this place felt aspirational, that it was beautiful. But at the same time, it felt very real.”

Glen Fruin and Loch Lomond

For the more scenic scenes, the team used Glen Fruin to capture the picturesque nature of Scotland, with valleys, streams and woodland.

It is located adjacent to Loch Lomond, a freshwater lake that’s part of the Trossachs National Park.

While on the show it is part of the village, in reality it is northwest of Glasgow, and approximately 40 miles north of Dunlop, where the show films its external village scenes.

Coldwater continues on Sunday 28th September at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.

Chris Brown


Exclusive: Chris Brown’s Breezy Bowl Tour Being Filmed for Major Release

theJasmineBrand exactly reports, Chris Brown is taking his Breezy Bowl experience from the stage to the big screen.

Sources exclusively tell us that the Grammy-winning entertainer is filming his current Breezy Bowl tour with plans for a theatrical release. While an official release date has not yet been confirmed, we’re told a major production company is behind the project, signaling a wide-scale rollout rather than a limited fan event.

Described as a hybrid of live performance and behind-the-scenes documentary, the Breezy Bowl film is expected to capture the high-energy sets, choreography, and creative production that Brown has become known for — while also offering fans a closer look at the tour’s creation and execution.

“This isn’t just concert footage — it’s being built out for theaters,” one source close to the project tells us.

The film will mark Chris Brown’s return to the big screen music space, following earlier projects like Welcome to My Life (2017), which combined performance and personal storytelling.

With the Breezy Bowl tour already generating buzz across social media, anticipation is likely to grow as details about the theatrical release emerge.

As of now, no official release date or distributor has been announced, but filming is actively underway.

Have you been to Breezy Bowl? Is a theatrical release a good idea?

The series explores themes surrounding wealth and class, and as such shows us two very different sides of a community. But just where was it shot and what have the cast said about the locations they filmed in?

Read on for everything you need to know about the filming locations used for The Guest.

The Guest was both filmed and is set in Wales, and the series received Welsh Government support via Creative Wales.

The most notable location used for filming is Whitson Court, the house which was used for Fran’s home, Maybury Court. It is a Grade II listed building, which cane be found in Goldcliff, Newport.

Other locations used for filming included areas throughout Cardiff, and Rhossili Bay.

What have the cast and crew said about filming in Wales?

On filming at Whitson Court, the location used for Maybury Court, Fran star Eve Myles said: “Maybury Court is a beautiful home, the land around it is stunning, and it’s filled with all types of animals, there’s peacocks and donkeys and cockerels. It’s an oasis of otherworldliness which lends itself to the otherworldliness of The Guest.”

Meanwhile, Ria star Gabrielle Creevy said: “When you first see those gates open, it feels almost magical, like stepping into a fairy tale or a grand castle. It’s that feeling of wonder you get when you’re younger, imagining what it would be like to live in a place like that.

“That is exactly how Ria feels when she first sees it, it’s like her chance at a new life. The location is stunning; the grounds are vast, and the landscape of Wales looks beautiful. It really adds a layer of charm and mystery to the story.”

Emun Elliott, who plays Fran’s business associate Richard in the series, spoke more broadly about filming in Wales, saying: “Wales is fantastic, Cardiff is this brilliant urban city, but you step outside of it, and it’s a whole other world. We shot on Rhossili Bay, which is one of the most stunning locations I’ve ever seen.

“I think this series will have a sense of scale. Ashley Way, our director focused on not just the intricacies of the drama but also used the landscape and the city of Cardiff itself as another character in the plot.

“Aside from the landscape and the locations in Wales, the people were fantastic. I never worked in Wales before, but there was a real warmth that I felt immediately from both the cast and the crew.”

Executive producer Davina Earl added: “Matthew (Barry) is Welsh, he writes authentically, he knows the posh parts of Cardiff where Fran might hang out, he knows Ria’s world, and he understands her background, as does Gabi, who plays her.

“We have a beautiful manor house, and then Ria’s world, which is also shot so beautifully and with scale which feels gorgeous on screen. Then to be able to go to the Gower and see the coastline, which in the winter had a stark beauty about it. Wales offered brilliant filming locations and visual ambition.”

The Guest premieres on BBC One and iPlayer at 9pm on Monday 1st September.
