00:00We've got exclusive on-set access.

00:07To be honest, I thought I wasn't going to get the job.

00:09Your trouble is, Fred.

00:11We reveal the efforts writers, directors, actors and technicians go to

00:14to make television drama look real and believable.

00:17We blow the whistle on ITV's new series, The Whistleblowers.

00:22For me, I liked Ben being quite bolshy.

00:33Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to just swallow everything I'm told by the establishment.

00:36He's quite headstrong, I like that.

00:38I can't admit defeat. Can you?

00:41For actress Indira Varma, playing Alicia was a challenge.

00:45Firstly, couples are quite unusual in television drama,

00:47and secondly, there were aspects of Alicia's character that Indira didn't particularly like.

00:53I felt that Alicia was a bit of a nag to begin with.

00:56Ben!

00:58Who cares what's going on outside the window?

01:01Initially in episode one, I think Alicia is this very, very successful lawyer.

01:06Actually more successful than Ben.

01:08And so she's reluctant to be dragged into this, you know.

01:12You reported it, Ben.

01:14If it hasn't come to anything, there's obviously a very good reason.

01:16What I liked about it as well was the fact that it was, you know, a thriller,

01:22but with, you know, a partnership, but they were in a relationship.

01:26You know, a role of Doglu, Mustafa Doglu, who's an evil Turkish man.

01:31Ah, I'll get you.

01:34He's involved in basically smuggling of immigrants from Turkey to this country,

01:40and people trafficking, basically.

01:42I don't like people who look lost. I like to go up there and punch them, you know.

01:45Normally, I'm the one that does all the killing.

01:48In this instance, I get shot in the chest, and I get a bullet through the brain.

01:54My brain splattered across the windows.

01:57So that was quite interesting for me, because I haven't died for about nearly four years now.

02:01So it was nice to die again.

02:02I had to kind of rethink as to how to die.

02:07I mean, a lot of times, actors use what they call sense memory.

02:10Because of the fact that you've experienced that emotion,

02:13you know the process on how to conjure up that emotion again.

02:16But obviously, something like dying or getting shot is something that I've never experienced.

02:20As you can see, I'm still alive.

02:22So it's something that you need to kind of fabricate almost, you know.

02:25The process I use is, I basically think of an experience where I've been really, really frightened,

02:30and then get that emotion in, and then build, and build, and build,

02:33and then it kind of gets to a point where you think, right, that's it, and you get there.

02:39Despite all Mem's hard work, in the final scene, his death lasts just a precious few seconds.

02:45There's no reason to assume Doc Lou's the only vicious killer, she knows.
