Lol, you're most welcome!

Quote:How many people have "usually" been there to watch a scene to be filmed and did you actually ask the crew if you could watch it or did you just stick around hoping not to be in the way?

For the Wood St shoot (where these pictures are from) there was quite a gathering of fans and passers-by too, as it had been made widely known on Twitter that they would be filming there. Also, with it being on a weekend, more people could get there.

On a couple of other occasions, when I've been able to follow Twitter 'intel' and make it to London to see filming, there were far fewer people watching (maybe 2 or 3 fans). It also depends on the location. If it's a fairly quiet street/location, then only a couple of people would be there, but for Trafalgar Square or popular public places, obviously there is a lot of interest generated and you get a fair bit of interest from the general public who stop to watch.

I usually tried to ask someone from the crew if it was okay to watch, apart from Trafalgar Square which was such a huge and busy shoot. I don't think I spoke to any of the crew that day!

Quote:Did the crew recognise you when you'd seen filming before?
I'm just asking because from the info you could gather on Twitter or through the forum (well more on Twitter actually) it seemed that there were some kind of "regulars" who were able to watch several scenes being filmed. Did the crew wonder where information on the locations came from? In case they said anything on this at all I mean.

A few started to recognize me, yes. Also, some fans had been regulars from previous seasons. The crew were always very welcoming and friendly. They did ask how we found out where they would be, and the answer was usually that a member of the public had posted about it on Twitter!

Quote:And finally, from seeing a scene can you actually make any sense of this and get an overall view on what will happen in the episode? Or from seeing several scenes can you imagine something on the general storyline?
I mean I know that filming worth of a few hours will be condensed to minutes in the actual episode or this special scene may even be cut totally but do you already have some ideas what will happen just through viewing the scenes? (without telling what of course!!)

You can learn quite a lot about the scene you're watching, but not really about the general storyline. The Wood St shoot reveals a major spoiler about a character (not main cast), for example, and was action-based. In contrast, others shoots would just be walking and talking scenes. Sometimes, the crew would also give little snippets of information which were often rather intriguing! I don't feel I've been significantly spoiled though, and experiencing the filming process has really added to my enjoyment of the show. I can't wait to see these scenes play out on screen in Season 10!
