staged episode 1 and 2 were finally on bbc iplayer tonight! in the line where michael says “fuck you gaiman” (i genuinely could not stop laughing), did you have to do many takes of that?
We did complete takes, start to finish, so that's how they'd always end, no matter what nonsense we came up with on the way. (David and Michael were sensible and stuck to the script. With Simon's blessing I came up with lots of Nordic Plots and George R R Martin bits and tried them all out.)
