Set in the aftermath of the crime, Adolescence Episode 2 takes us inside Jamie’s (Owen Cooper) chaotic comprehensive school where pupils and teachers, who knew both Jamie and the girl he murdered, are in shock. “Episode 2 is piecing it together within the school and seeing how social media can affect our children today,” says co-creator and star Stephen Graham. Each episode of the limited series was shot in one continuous take, meaning rehearsal was essential. There were 300 kids, plus teachers and chaperones in the school scenes, so shooting had to “be really meticulously planned out,” says director and executive producer Philip Barantini. The cast and crew would spend three weeks on each episode, walking through the script scene by scene, and doing tech rehearsal, then filming it. “The last week we get 10 chances, two a day, at shooting one take,” says Ashley Walters who plays Detective Inspector Luke Bascombe. Episode 2 was captured on the last take. (thetvdb.com)
