00:00The Four Sights officially airs tonight on Channel 5 at 9pm.

00:04Ahead of the episode airing, we joined an exclusive Q&A with the cast of the series,

00:10hosted by Naomi Wilkinson.

00:12The cast answered some of the questions we had, including their favourite film and locations.

00:17We shot in and around Bristol, which is a lovely place to work,

00:22and obviously the architecture of parts of that town lends themselves.

00:27I do quite like the terrace of houses, which includes the two Four Sight Houses.

00:34It's very grand in a magnificent Regency way, so that's probably my favourite.

00:40Also, we got to be outdoors.

00:43It's really special to work locally and work with people that you know as well,

00:51which is really fun, and also get to sleep in your own bed, which is also really nice.

00:57But there's a lot about Bristol that I love, and it's fun, especially with the Georgian architecture

01:04and getting to go to the stately homes.

01:07Sometimes, even when things are on your doorstep, you don't go and visit them,

01:10so it was a nice excuse to explore more of the area.

01:12I love the church, which opens the episode, and it's just an exquisite building.

01:21It's very gothic, and it looks quite imposing on the outside,

01:24but inside it brings in the light really beautifully.
