"Many big shows are filming there now. They have spectacular locations like Memento Park where all the communist-era statues have been exiled and we constructed a major sequence around that. The crew were all local and extremely dedicated. I can't wait to work there again."

Indra Ové, who plays James' boss Barbara, spoke about her experience shooting outside of the UK. "To shoot away from home in a foreign city, I actually find incredibly helpful," she told Entertainment Daily. "We're away from home, so I quite like the intensity of that, and the lack of distraction.
"At home, you come home from work, you become mother, sister, wife, all those roles, immediately, as soon as you step through your front door. What's lovely about this is we're all immersed in the script, we've all come away for the script.

"That's the whole purpose of being here. You live and breathe that world. And being in a lovely city like Budapest, it was a very easy city to work in, and the people were lovely," she added.
Deadline continues on Wednesday 6 April at 9pm on Channel 5.
