It seems to me that Shane Meadows runs some scenes where there is no script. Instead he tells the actors to speak, converse spontaneously.  There was a number like this in This is England. One where they were having Sunday lunch (In a house near Lowedges park) and they were all talking at the same time. I thought there's no way they are following a script. To add to the authenticity the curtains fell down.  It added to a brilliant scene  The pub scene in The Virtues seemed the same. Edited May 21, 2019 by abbeyedges Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
nikki-red   308 #14 Posted May 21, 2019 I read in an interview a few days ago that quite a lot of it was ad-lib. It was also filmed chronologically which is quite unusual. They didnt even know exactly how it was going to end until they were already filming the final episode. I imagine its going to get quite harrowing as it goes on, even more so when you think it was based on actual events from Shane Meadows life  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

abbeyedges   83 #16 Posted June 3, 2019 Last week I thought the filming had moved to Ireland and then noticed a road sign 'Tom Lane' and began to question if in fact they were still in Sheffield.  Endcliffe Park cafe confirmed they still were.

AppLad   10 #18 Posted June 5, 2019 The 'irish' screens were filmed in Hundall & Apperknowle. The pub in episode 3 was the Barrack in Apperknowle , the exterior also featured in episopde 4, don't know the other pub in episode 4. The housing estates in episode 4 looked like Barrow hill / Whittington , but not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
