I'm a huge fan of stunts, hence when our Pb writer, Emilia di Girolamo, suggested using the U.S.A. of America episode 'Locomotion' equally the base of operations for our two-‐parter, I jumped at the chance.
“Like most Britain drama, Law & Order doesn’t receive got an endless budget, hence staging a existent educate crash was ever out of the question. However, nosotros watched the U.S.A. of America version too were impressed that they'd managed to shoot the educate crash from the within only, but made it await fantastic. Of course, nosotros wanted to buy the farm i footstep further...
“Taking the U.S.A. of America episode equally our template, myself too the manager Mat King, worked closely with the stunt co-ordinator, special effects team, manager of photography too production designer to brand sure nosotros pushed things equally far equally nosotros could. On the shoot hateful solar daytime nosotros ended upwardly with xv stunt performers within a existent educate wagon too used a serial of lights exterior the windows to create the consequence of movement. The effects squad rigged suitcases to driblet from racks too debris to wing out of a canon. We also rigged some of our stunt performers with blood pellets which flare-up on activity equally they crashed into saccharide glass. We knew nosotros alone had 2 attempts to acquire it correct hence a lot of fourth dimension was spent rehearsing both the performers too the cameras. The terminate resultant was meliorate than whatsoever of us could receive got hoped -‐ it sure as shooting kicks the novel serial off with a bang!”
Adds Jane: “In this serial nosotros bargain with a lot of offense committed past times people y'all actually wouldn't suspect. What seems similar an ordinary home unit of measurement turns out to live the consummate contrary with some extraordinary outcomes. There's sure as shooting something for everyone with a few familiar faces joining us along the way.”

New Cast Members
Georgia Taylor
Georgia Taylor is Crown Prosecutor Kate Barker Georgia Taylor made several visits to Bristol Crown Court to sentry the same example past times means of grooming for her purpose equally defence forcefulness barrister turned Crown Prosecutor, Kate Barker, inwards the novel serial of Law & Order: UK.
“The commencement fourth dimension I went I felt quite nervous,” she recalls. “I’d never been to courtroom earlier for whatsoever argue too I felt a flake uncomfortable. But past times the 2d too 3rd fourth dimension I knew just what was going on, I went through security too took a spot inwards the gallery equally though I’d been going for years.”
And that is just the feeling Georgia was after, she explains: “For me, it was virtually wanting to walk onto the courtroom room set for the commencement fourth dimension too non experience similar I was inwards a completely alien environment. I also closely watched the prosecution barrister too what I liked virtually him was that at that spot was no demonstrating, he wasn’t raising his voice, he was really affair of fact too inwards a way, when people are similar that, it draws y'all in. Politicians practise it – they speak softly too I really much took this on board with Kate. There was such a existent naturalness too I found him actually compelling, I couldn’t receive got my eyes off him. I tin reckon how people acquire hooked on going to sentry these cases. You receive got to recollect that this is real; nosotros could reckon everything, but it felt similar I was watching TV! I found it actually fascinating.
Talking virtually her grapheme Georgia says: "We commencement run across Kate equally a defence forcefulness barrister upwardly against Jake (played past times Dominic Rowan) too nosotros uncovering out at the terminate of the commencement episode that she moves over to CPS where she volition live working amongst him. They rub each other upwardly the incorrect means from the start. She quite likes him but he is merely irritated past times her. Jake is really controlled too quite cold. Kate admittedly is quite nosy, but there’s no malice inwards it, she is merely truly interested inwards people too what makes them tick. She is fascinated past times Jake because he is this enigma that comes into operate too doesn’t give anything away.”
Georgia continues: “Kate comes from a working course of written report background too I intend the argue she is successful too good inwards courtroom is because jurors relate to her – she is the miss side past times side door; non-threatening too non-intimidating. She isn’t really good spoken, she didn’t buy the farm to individual school, she doesn’t utilization a lot of fancy words – that doesn’t hateful she doesn’t know the fancy words because she is really brilliant – she is accessible, warm too flake mischievous; she likes to current of air Jake up. She is really passionate too merely the contrary of Jakes grapheme – she is to a greater extent than friendly too much to a greater extent than inquisitive.”
So what drives Kate Barker?
“She is someone who actually enjoys a challenge – too this is a hugely challenging career. It’s unlike every unmarried hateful solar daytime too every example is unlike too that is something that actually appeals to her too her spirit of adventure. There is also a component subdivision of her that is passionate virtually causes she believes inwards too nosotros reckon that inwards the commencement episode when she is defending a grapheme who she believes is mentally ill. She cares virtually people too she cares virtually the correct thing existence done.
“She is sensitive to the needs of people who are vulnerable; whether that is mental wellness or battling addiction, she has empathy too sympathy. For people that are vulnerable too can’t protect themselves inwards the means possibly someone else could.”
And how does Kate relate to her novel boss Henry Sharpe?
“Generally most of the fourth dimension they acquire on actually good too I intend he has done a really clever, slightly manipulative thing past times bringing her on board equally he knows she volition remove sure things out inwards Jake. Even inwards the commencement episode he is quite playful too quite enjoying Jake’s discomfort equally Kate shares an purpose with him. At the terminate of the hateful solar daytime he is her boss too at that spot are moments towards the terminate of the serial where he has to trace her dorsum into line because she has got really passionate virtually a example too she’s possibly doing things inadvertently that are detrimental to the squad inwards CPS. He is quite home with her equally this is his job, he has to maintain everyone inwards line too brand sure they are doing their chore properly. Because she has alone lately crossed over to CPS at that spot are at times elements of the defence forcefulness barrister inwards her that she’s struggling to milk shiver off a bit.
“I got to receive got some bang-up on-screen arguments with Peter Davison – he is such a gentleman too such a wonderful actor, it was skilful to play a unlike dimension with the character.”
How did it experience having to article of apparel the wig too gown standing upwardly inwards court?
“The commencement fourth dimension I tried the wig on was when I had a makeup exam too I was horrified! I thought, ‘Oh my God’. It wasn’t hence much that I looked terrible – I am non that vain – I merely idea I looked a flake comedy too wasn’t sure I took myself seriously. I actually had to sell this too recollect Kate has trained for this chore too been doing this all through her twenties. I receive got to say, within a couplet of hours of wearing it, too when the other barristers inwards courtroom are wearing wigs, y'all buy the farm a flake attached to it.
“When Kate is inwards court, she is really unlike to how to she is inwards the purpose too she has to be. The alone means I tin depict it equally an instrumentalist it feels similar the closest thing to home y'all acquire with filming. We’ve got this huge set too lots of supporting artists, crew too invitee actors. You actually practise feel, when you’re stood upwardly inwards the benches, that every unmarried pair of eyes is on you, hence at that spot was something really theatrical virtually it too the grapheme has to remove what she presents to the jury too how she manipulates a witness too trace things out. By its nature it is really theatrical, too with the add-on of wig too gown, it is similar your phase costume too it really much feels purpose specific hence it does assist y'all buy the farm far the correct mood.”
Kate Barker volition buy the farm known for some other chemical component of her costume too…
Yes – she wears Ugg boots with her suits when she’s non inwards court! That’s what I actually beloved virtually her equally it’s hence much similar me to apparel for comfort. It’s merely a prissy grapheme trait that she does what she has to practise inwards courtroom too wears what is required of her, but she merely wants to live comfy. She isn’t the variety of miss to buy the farm tottering roughly inwards stilettos too curt skirts. Our costume designer went for quite a masculine await – slouchy jumpers, shirts too nosotros receive got fifty-fifty got harem pants. It is really laid-‐back too reflects her personality – she isn’t uptight too ironed to within an inch of her life too these boots are a prissy reflection of this.” “Funnily plenty I wasn’t a fan of Ugg boots earlier filming Law& Order but it’s merely because I never had them before. I ever idea they were merely overpriced slippers – ridiculous! After wearing them for virtually a week, I merely idea they were hence insanely comfy too my lovely fellow bought me a pair for Christmas, hence I am a convert.”
So were at that spot whatsoever downsides to filming the series?
“This has definitely been i of the coldest jobs ever. We acquire to practise some scenes on location too I beloved filming out too virtually inwards London, it’s exciting, but nosotros receive got had the most shocking winter. Filming exterior inwards bitter current of air or snowfall y'all experience similar your diction goes too your oral cavity goes numb hence that has definitely been a challenge. Especially when nosotros are filming 7.30am on sun morn past times the River Thames - y'all experience similar you’re existence slightly punished…”
Paterson Joseph
Paterson Joseph is DI Wes Leyton Paterson Joseph was launched direct into the thick of it on his commencement hateful solar daytime filming Law & Order: Britain equally the novel DI, Wes Leyton.
“One of my commencement scenes was with Bradley Walsh (DS Ronnie Brooks) too nosotros instantly had a skilful rapport. We both speak really quickly, slightly over-lapping each other too I intend Bradley liked the instant comebacks from my character. It was 2 people who were on the same wavelength sense of humor wise,” explains Paterson.
His other scenes on the commencement hateful solar daytime were with Peter Davison too Paterson recalls: “We were inwards Henry Sharpe’s office, we’d rehearsed a scene too Peter had gone for a costume alter when a lump of ceiling savage downwards too I idea ‘I promise that isn’t an omen for my commencement performance on camera!’ Of course of written report it wasn’t too everything rolled along nicely because it is such a good established production.”
Talking virtually his grapheme Paterson says: “Wes has ever been a committed career copper; he ever wanted to live component subdivision of the solution. If y'all await at race relations inwards the 80’s when he would receive got joined up, it would receive got been imperative for him to receive got been committed to solving those problems too existence the solution to the major race issues of the day. There was a huge separation betwixt the law too dark people, too sure as shooting dark youth, too he decided that what he was going to practise was bring together too reckon if he could alter things from within. To a sure extent, he feels he has succeeded; here he is a really senior law officeholder able to command men too women nether him too also demonstrate that dark officers are able to ascent through the ranks too encourage younger officers to join.
“As a copper he was really dominion based too knowing that was the best means – through trial too fault – to maintain security too brand sure y'all acquire a conviction. He was ever actually skilful stuff for Detective Inspector but at that spot is ever a major component subdivision of him that is itching to acquire on the streets over again too practise the investigations too basically live Ronnie. He is slightly frustrated inwards that he has been given a lot of administration. The argue he took the jump from DS to DI was partly natural, it made sense for him to live inwards accuse of other men equally he was quite skilful at organizing other people.
“There was also the really emotional too personal number that he too his married adult woman can’t conceive a kid too afterwards 4 or 5 years of trying unlike treatments receive got moved to London equally they tin acquire IVF handling a petty cheaper inwards the borough he is in.”
Wes too Ronnie percentage a history inwards the force…
Says Paterson: “Wes too Ronnie receive got had a really similar experience inwards the forcefulness inwards that they were serious virtually existence coppers – they both actually were inwards beloved with the law too order. There’s also a component subdivision of both of them that receive got deep integrity inwards what they practise – they avoid doing anything that fifty-fifty smells of corruption too they volition give away it where they reckon it, they are purists.”
“They empathize some coppers tend to curvature the rules – at that spot were a lot of mavericks roughly inwards those days, they were a petty looser inwards the interpretation of the law – peculiarly inwards the early on 80s but they got on good too hung out together for a skilful 8 to 10 years too knew the same crowd of coppers too had usual friends. Meeting upwardly over again is fantastic equally they receive got banter really easily – Wes is inwards a unlike spot to concluding fourth dimension they met inwards that he is inwards a higher rank too ultimately Ronnie’s boss, but he never feels similar this because he is his mate. There is a sort of residuum inwards their relationship, a usual respect. He is non a Daddy DI, Wes is a existent ‘get the chore done’ variety of guy too the fact he has a flake of warmth towards Ronnie takes the border off him.”
So how does Wes acquire on with his novel team?
“He absolutely loves the means Ronnie industrial plant – he industrial plant inwards a really similar means although he is much less emotional virtually the cases. On occasions that leads to a flake of a clash inwards that Wes tin reckon where Ronnie is going, too inwards my eyes, he is hence tenacious too wants to practise the correct thing for everyone involved inwards the case, but sometimes looks at the pile of operate on his desk too merely wants to unopen this off too acquire equally much evidence equally he can. Ronnie volition ever scratch a petty deeper too uncovering something that turns the example roughly which is wonderful inwards i means too actually annoying inwards another, but he greatly admires him for doing that.
“His human relationship with Sam (Paul Nicholls) is a petty tricky because for some argue Sam has taken umbrage towards him instantly for no other argue apart from that he is a novel boy. There is nil racist virtually the means Sam treats him, it is merely people don’t similar a novel broom. Policeman are really conservative, they don’t similar changes too are ever suspicious of novel people coming along. Thankfully Ronnie pours stone oil on troubled waters too helps us to operate together but it is a tense relationship; at that spot isn’t a lot of beloved lost too at some points at that spot are major clashes.”
Paterson is thrilled that his commencement episode on Law & Order: Britain is such a dramatic one.
“Most of the storylines are to a greater extent than domestic, to a greater extent than personal too less spectacular hence it was a bang-up means to start too receive got such a large incident to acquire to grips with. It also actually helped the transition into existence that copper investigating a offense inwards this detailed way. I receive got never played a detective earlier I’ve done bits inwards other drama serial but they receive got been tiny compared to this. It is bang-up existence able to follow the investigation all the means through.
“Wes cannot stand upwardly existence besides long behind a desk – working within 4 walls is a really acquired taste, y'all receive got to live a particular variety of someone too Wes struggles with this too the huge amounts of admin. He knows it is component subdivision of the chore too it helps everyone on the example but he would merely beloved to live out at that spot catching people. No i was going to maintain him away from the scene of the educate crash too it was incredible to cinema there.”
And Paterson admits to existence a fan of the Law & Order franchise earlier joining the cast.
“The commencement fourth dimension I saw the U.S.A. of America version was virtually 1996, too both times I receive got seen it was inwards the Caribbean. My married adult woman too I absolutely loved it, it was i of the things nosotros did inwards the even out earlier nosotros went out for dinner. All the cases were contained, hence whether y'all had seen previous episodes or non didn’t matter. We loved the banter.”
“The whole serial actually smacked of authentic, procedural U.S.A. of America legal organisation too it seemed to me to live a actually skilful mixture betwixt what would hand too a actually entertaining law drama. I idea ‘we don’t receive got anything similar that inwards the UK’ too started writing something along those lines too hence the Britain version was created too I was really curious to reckon it. I saw some episodes during my travels when the commencement serial came out too idea they were all actually splendid too totally held their ain to the American series. I am hoping nosotros receive got maintained that credibility for this serial too.”
