Had a boring if fun day yesterday filing in Charlestown for Beyond Paradise. Watching at the London execs who write these scrips had people putting racing boats out to see stern first. Reminded me of the story I was told when they asked the casting agencies for [people to be the crowd at a fisherman’s funeral and were surprised when everyone worse black. And this lack of knowledge or common sense feeds into the TV watcher’s views of the world. The little things that are wrong give them false learning.
I also became a father for a day with a 13 year son and eight year old daughter I never knew I had and we all waved at an empty sea because the regatta was to be filmed elsewhere. Talk about reality checks.
