Last year they filmed eps 2&3 first then went to film eps 1&4. In s8 they filmed part of ep3 before May and the "Grid" scenes in July they did this early because Miranda was filming 2 shows at once and they wanted to get her scenes done early. So never assume what you are seeing is where it should be. Plus in s8 they filmed post for H/R scenes in early Oct in between Nicola's rehearsals for Mrs. Klein. They have done the read through for ep 6 so they could have been filming for that already keep that in mind.

Good info. Thanks! After watching the DVD extras for earlier series, I kind of thought that the filming out of episodic order was the exception to the rule, due to scheduling conflicts as you mention above, and that there was a pick up period after actual filming ended. I knew that they consistently filmed out of scenic order for each directors two episodes. But things are rarely that easy in life. The process fascinates me, so I am still trying to wrap my brain around it. What a logistical nightmare that must be for whoever it is that makes the filming schedule!

Of course, this is why I am trying to identify the director when possible. That will be the best way to get at least a ball park idea of what episode is being filmed.
