Behind-the-scenes trivia:

• In the shot with Tim, James and Emma playing Guitar Hero while looking at the camera, they are actually playing the game. To achieve this, we held a mirror on each side of the camera to reflect the TV screen. I can’t remember whose idea it was, but it was bloody inspired.
• Paul tore chunks of skin off his fingers when doing his drumming/guitaring combo. Commitment.
• The milkshake I’m drinking was made with expired milk.
