Happy Two-Month Anniversary to everyone who loves Lockwood and Co.! Here’s a BTS shot I took of the living room at 35 Portland Row. It’s a special place for me, as it’s where Lucy has her interview with Lockwood and George (and incidentally meets the Skull for the first time). Everything begins here! ⚔️💀

Out in the wilds, while busily thinking up new adventures for Scarlett and Browne… Will we have cannibals? Yep. Bank robberies? Surely! Eerie forests with weird trees? I very much think so…

Lockwood on location! On 26th August 2021, the same day as I visited Portland Row, I also went down to Minley Manor, in Hampshire, where Joe and the team were shooting. Here I met Cameron and Ruby for the first time, and watched several scenes being filmed, including Lucy and Norrie making their solemn and binding promise in Lucy’s room. Several other scenes were shot that day, including Lucy trying (and failing) to get a job at Rotwell’s.
In these photos, you can see me with Joe and Cameron (guess which one of us was a tiny bit unsure about outdoor mask etiquette), the exterior of the Manor, and a couple of pics of the editing hub, where Joe and Jonathan Amos, his amazing editor, could instantly check how the scenes were looking. ⚔️.

Fancy a peek inside Portland Row? On 26th August 2021, I paid a visit to @ealingstudios, where Lockwood’s house had been lovingly created by Marcus Rowland, @sophiehpowell, and the amazing team at @completefictionpictures. It was an incredible feeling, stepping through the front door for the first time. @mrjoecornish was still shooting on location, so Portland Row had not yet been filmed in. It was sitting quietly, just waiting for @rubystokess, @cameronchapman__ and @alihadjiheshmati to drop by and take possession.
The amazing thing for me was how close it was to the house I saw in my head: the accuracy was unbelievable. Here you can see: the front hall, with all the masks and the crystal skull lamp on the table; a peep through into the sitting room, where Lucy will soon have her fateful interview; the view down to the upstairs landing (I am taking the photo from just outside THE MYSTERIOUS LOCKED DOOR); and a nice shot of George’s bedroom, thankfully with no one doing naked yoga. Note the ladder: some parts of the house were still being finished as I went round. It was an incredible feat of design and construction, a testament to the vision of Joe and the film-makers, and an honour to be able to visit it.

Adventures in the city of Bath with @mrjoecornish! We had a fabulous Friday evening, courtesy of @waterstonesbath, talking about #LockwoodandCo with a lovely audience, and afterwards signing books late into the night. Many thanks to the amazing Waterstones team, who looked after us so well, and to everyone who joined us. ⚔️
