The stunt was originally due to film on location. However bosses changed it in the interest of safety for the cast and crew.
Mikey North says: “This was the very first three episodes that I have filmed after lockdown.
“We have had to alter and change things but I don’t think it has lost any of its intention and hopefully it will be just as good as it would have been on location.
“I got to ride on the bonnet of the car and I was quite pleased to have the opportunity to do the stunt myself because I enjoy that part of the job but I have never done a car stunt like this before.
“I loved it.”
Tina O’Brien says: “We had such a good time filming these scenes and I have really enjoyed being part of something so different.
