Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Most 'Zoom calls' were filmed separately due to actual lockdown restrictions; Tennant and Sheen often weren't even in the same room.
The show became a time capsule of early pandemic coping mechanisms, with season 3 awkwardly acknowledging the world had moved on while they were still trapped in 2020.
