Filming in a Quarry Again

On June 6, a group of extras reported to Tredegar, a town near Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales, to portray hostages. I'm aware scenes involving this same hostage situation were also filmed at Roath Lock Studios the week of July 18-22.

I will share some social media posts from the filming but be warned that the posts may be deleted once they are given attention on this blog. I will share the text of the posts and describe the images but will not edit this blog if the posts are deleted. I will not include the identities of the extras in my blog text so their posts will be the only way to identify them.

First, my reason for knowing the scenes filmed involved a hostage situation from an instagram post with a Tredegar location pin.

Another post with the Tredegar location pin:

"That moment you get on location to find the entertainment is throwing rocks at a dead sheep #onset🎥🎬 #actorslife #rockthrowing"


Another post from the same person, this time, the location pin says "Llandefalle, Rhondda Cynon Taff, United Kingdom".

"Bunch of [******] SAs , gotta love the #onsetlife #actorslife #onlocation"

In this case, SA stands for Supporting Artistes, another term for extra. A group of ten extras are sitting on the side of a road with automobiles and a typical aqua location truck in the background. They are all dressed identically in black baggy black pants, tan short-sleeved t-shirts and, curiously, black water shoes. I'm aware there were more than ten extras hired for this shoot.

The location is in a quarry in Brecon Beacons, according to this same person:
"Who knew quarries were so cool #onset🎥🎬 #salife #justchillin #breconisserious"

There was also an Instagram Story with the hashtag, #trefil.


I'm aware that Bradley Walsh was not there on June 6 because he was at 10 Downing Street in London for some publicity photos for Soccer Aid. Jodie Whittaker, Mandip Gill, Tosin Cole and some of the crew members went to the Beyoncé concert in Cardiff on the evening of June 6. The following week, July 11-15, the production moved to Granada Provence, Spain.
