BENIDORM – Well we’re finally here in sunny Benidorm, my home for the next two months.  Staying in a slightly scuzzy hotel for this week then as from next week I’m in a brand new 2 bedroom apartment which is a ten minute drive out of the town centre.  I think this week (for me) is mainly going to be taken up with looking at locations and making adjustments to all six episodes; next week is our rehearsal week when our cast arrives and the real work begins.  I say the real work begins, obviously we have a full production team that have been here for weeks doing an amazing job, I can’t believe all these people are running around organising this multi million pound TV series that all started with an idea that came out of my head; it’s a lot to take in.  Just been out for a meal with various people from our team, producer, designer, director, 1st A.D, art director, props master, director of photography, line producer, sound recordist….etc, etc.. and that’s not even an eighth of the people it takes to make a TV show!  Right, better get to sleep, there’s a lot to get through tomorrow and I want to get up in time to check out the local gym, if Paul my trainer is reading this I’m going to keep up the good work you started with me mate!  And so to bed….
