Landry (Tom Cullen) has been bound to a wooden frame. He’s then cleave gagged onscreen, his shirt is ripped open and he’s branded on the chest with a cross.
FINALLY some interviews! Thanks to @annabolinas for finding these!
Right so some things to take away:
Jessica Raine read a biography of Catherine for this role! The way she speaks of her is with a tone of admiration and she talks about the hardship she’s faced so this makes me hopeful that Catherine will not, in fact, be portrayed as a one-note villain
Jamie mentioned that he intentionally didn’t watch other portrayals of Robert to make his portrayal his own which honestly I get - I would be pretty intimidated too if I felt like I had to follow in Tom Hardy and Jeremy Irons’ footsteps lol and its better for an actor to make his own sense of his role rather than trying to base it on something else. He’s an actor, not a historian after all.
Is that inscription by Catherine Parr that Jessica is talking about real??? I’ve never heard of it. Any thoughts @katherynparr?
Tom Cullen mentioning the huge codpiece he had to wear lmao lmao of course Seymour would
Jamie saying that he still couldn’t dress himself by the end of shooting yeah my guy that’s why Robert had manservants haha!
This whole emphasis on the script/story feeling modern is annoyingly anachronistic but we do have to remind ourselves that this is a show for entertainment, not a documentary. And unlike with Emma Frost and co, the BE crew doesn’t seem to be making pretentious, grandious statements about the people they’re portraying. They’re just telling a historical story for a modern audience and like eh, fair enough
Jamie Blackley talking about working with an intimacy coordinator … HMMMMMMMM
On that note, it does seem like the focus of the sexiness will be Thomas Seymour and Catherine Parr so if that’s true, that’s a relief (not that I ship them or something but it’s better than him and Elizabeth at the very bottom most least)
“- Well, you know what it’s like when you first sleep with someone you don’t know? - Yes. - It’s… you, like, become this blank canvas and it gives you an opportunity to project onto that canvas who you want to be. That’s what’s interesting because everybody does that. - So do you think that I did it? - Course you did. Well, what happens is while you’re projecting who you want to be… this gap opens up between who you want to be and who you really are. And in that gap, it shows you what’s stopping you becoming who you want to be.”

Never lose a bet. For @knightfallshow we trained for nearly three weeks in boot camp. We would box in the morning, then do circuit training, sword fighting, horse riding and then hit the gym. It was an intense process but we all bonded through sweat and pain. This day I bet Bobby Schofield (Parsifal) that Wales would beat England in the football game…Wales lost and I had to spend the day in my Welsh underpants. I think I worked it…maybe not… – @tom_cullen
