And the Betjeman seemed to chime very happily as a short-hand for the kind of young woman she presents to the world. But there’s something sly about the eyes of all of them. Actually – a touch of Long Weekend in there also. The characters feel very late 40s through 50s. RUSS: Well - we were smashing together Christie, Trumptonshire, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in our creative Hadron Collider… and, you remember those wonderful illustrations across the opening of the Hickson Miss Marple? What was it about this poem that resonated with the character of Isla? RUSS: What we were reaching for was a dull ache in his heart for somewhere – and more specifically – “someone” to call his own.ĭAMIAN: Regarding the character of Isla, your script references Middlesex, a poem by Betjeman, with the following quotes: ‘Fair Elaine, the bobby-soxer, fresh complexioned with Innoxa… well-cut Windsmoor… Jacqmar scarf of mauve and green’.

My only regret is that we ended up with the Roy Orbison and not her first choice. ![]() ![]() The Lynch probably more in her mind than mine – but I loved what she did with it. RUSS: Um… I think the picket fence was Leanne’s choice, as were the red roses. What mood were you and the director going for with this? I wasn’t quite sure if I was watching Endeavour, an episode of Trumpton or David Lynch’s Blue Velvet. Garden gnome – fishing…ĬONFECTION (S6:E3) Trumptonshire: Camberwick Green, Chigley and TrumptonĭAMIAN: This opening to CONFECTION was filmed with idyllic shots of the quaint village including a white picket fence adorned with red roses and the overture ends with Farmer Bell shooting Mandy-Jane with a shotgun.
