"All of episode one was shot on an estate in north London," he said. "Lots of the residents who live there were paid by the company to help and take part in the scenes. It's a huge amount of disruption for them but they were very good about it."
Jed added that the crew faced further difficulties due to the nature of the show. He said: "Getting access to film in London is always hard because it's a big bustling city, and then on top of that when we say we want to blow things up there's an incredible amount of paperwork."
