Blue Peter (a UK children show) had a fun segment from behind the scenes of Atlantis where presenter Lindsey Russell got to visit the set in Chepstow, interview Jack and Sarah and help out making a costume for the show.
For centuries, explorers have risked their lives searching for this island, but today, I can reveal that I, Lindsey Russell of Blue Peter, have found it and it’s…er…here in Wales in this industrial estate.
But it’s inside the old warehouse where the legends come to life. I’m on the set of the brand new BBC drama Atlantis and it’s incredible here! It feels like we’re in another world.
Actor Jack Donnelly plays Jason, our dashing, daring hero. Fighting foes is a full-time job, but I managed to catch up with Jack between scenes.
Jack: Jason is one of the main three characters in the show.
Lindsey: So you get to do a lot of fighting and stunts? Some really cool stuff..
Jack: Yeah, absolutely! You get to do it all! When I got the job, I was like ‘Yesssss!’ I mean…you audition for alsorts of stuff, but I was like ‘I can sword fight, I can horse ride! I get to be in battle sequences!
The rest of the segment goes on to show the costume side of the show. How they created the costumes for characters like Ariadne and Pasiphae. If you want to read/see images of that, let us know and we’ll add them!
