Stephen Poliakoff Remembers - Shooting the Past
Stephen Poliakoff Remembers - Shooting the Past
The writer-director recalls his TV drama first shown in 1999 and starring Timothy Spall and Lindsay Duncan in the lead roles. It took inspiration from the closure of a photo archive, weaving a tale of the effects of sudden change. Stephen explains how he was given the brief to write something 'totally different from anything seen before', how the cast held real photos in every sequence rather than adding them in after filming and how the casting of Spall completely changed the perception of that character
