    It wasn't really an easing of regulations, we don't currently have so much of those ( not that I could tell you what we had when they actually filmed). It was more a lot of effort put into making it possible within them while keeping people safe.

    There's a bit about it here - over 70 close contact cohorts!

    https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/coronation-street/a37890973/coronation-street-will-mellor-georgia-taylor-social-distancing/

    But yes, it was needed for those scenes or they just wouldn't look right.

    It is, and you have lots of close contact to come.

    Covid has made filming difficult. I have a daughter who is a TV Production Manager. She doesn't work on dramas but more on documentaries, and getting the crew and the talent to the right places within the various restrictions has been
    fun... :-)

    Things are easing, but she recently finished a show which involved travel for crew and presenter to Iceland*, and is currently working on another travelogue thought I don't know the details. Different countries, different rules!

    Will watch for that on firestick and netflix etc. Will remember the
    title as my family is loaded with Alexanders :)

    My daughter and I stopped off in Iceland for a week back when we could
    fly Air Iceland Heathrow to Halifax. It was interesting, they are
    different people that's for sure. We took a ride on Icelandic Ponies
    and enjoyed the Blue Lagoon - that was actually a pond by a big
    thermal power station! We were sitting basking in the water when a
    nearby American made some comment and we suggested to him they missed
    the boat by not doing the same at Three Mile Island lol

    They didn't seem to have dogs and cats, mainly budgies. Possibly
    because it would have been very expensive, nothing was inexpensive.

    That wasn't something that came out in the documentary, but it was fairly obvious there isn't a lot of farming, aside from sheep.

    What we did see was volcanos from above, Alexander in a pool with whales, and an
    "explicit" museum. Among other things of course. :-)

    Yes, volcanos were greatly in evidence, we took a trip to the village
    where half of it was submerged in lava with houses still sticking out
    of it, really emphasized the danger.

    Also in that area, our driver diverted and showed us the huge pen
    where they had put Willy of Free Willy fame. It hadn't worked, he was
    too used to humans and kept bugging the fishermen, so they decided he
    would feel more at home in a pen. Seemed super sad to me, in a way it
    would have been better had he remained where he was as it was the only
    way of life he knew.

    where they had put Willy of Free Willy fame. It hadn't worked, he was
    too used to humans and kept bugging the fishermen, so they decided he
    would feel more at home in a pen. Seemed super sad to me, in a way it
    would have been better had he remained where he was as it was the only
    way of life he knew.


    talking of food, did you try the local delicacies of sheeps eyes and fermented shark? :-)
