"The Turner kids – played by April Rae Hoang, Alice Brown and Ned Shaw – entered fully into the novelty spirit of the festive occasion, as you can see from this photo we grabbed behind the scenes on Episode eight. Fortunately Laura Main (Shelagh) was on hand to keep them in order for the big moment.
"These filming days are long, and have many, many complex elements to them – so it’s easy for a young person to get bored and distracted. But this crowd are really lovely to work with, and do seem to enjoy the novelty of the big scenes."
