Crew Vitamin C levels maintained by Innocent Smoothies!

We are so grateful to announce today that Innocent Drinks are sponsoring our shoot with nutritious smoothies!! Thank you so much to Conor and his team!!

All Producers know that keeping your crew energised and healthy through the long (and in this case foggy) days is an absolute must! It has made a tremendous difference to us to find loving sponsors who are able to help us do this on our student budget!

THANK YOU INNOCENT!!

Breakfasts powered by MOMA!!

We are IMMENSELY excited and SUPREMELY grateful to hear that the lovely bods at MOMA Foods will be sponsoring our breakfasts during the shoot!! SEE? THIS IS THE BEST SHOOT EVER!

I think I must've been one of Moma's first customers at Waterloo when Tom set up his stall, and was chuffed to read of his success in this article in the Evening Standard soon afterwards! Well done Tom!

We're especially chuffed because they're the healthiest of the healthy, and do lots of 'Oatie Breakfasts' - which are oats soaked in lovely yoghurty stuff, so they'll be really filling and refreshing and yum!

So chaps, this means a BAN on all things greasy for breakfast, (except for our night shoot days when I know you guys would mutiny if we didn't have bacon), so HURRAH!!

Please say thank you to Moma on their facebook page, and have a look at their scrummy goods here!

THANK YOU MOMA!!!

The stage is set...

And we're ready to go! 

The SFX Kit has arrived, the cottage has been dressed, all that's left now re a few mad dash catering runs, costume pick ups and a good night's sleep! This time to tomorrow we should have at least 2 4/8 pages in the can!!

So here are some images from the last couple of days of dressing and prep!!

Today Jamie hit his head and set off the school fire alarms twice... He promises he'll try harder next time. That makes me nervous.

He did however, produce this. So I can't be too miffed.
