I wonder if stage 4 restrictions will impact the melbourne based households on gogglebox. Will Faye have to join Anastasia on video chat like Jad did?
I wondered about that. I’d say it becomes a workplace for the duration. I expect (grandma) Em will still be out.
So you can’t catch it if filming a TV series but can if you’re filming a movie?
What movie was stopped?
So Production can continue but no sound post production? Is that correct?
I presume Sound Recording refers to Music industry, but not sure.
Has The Block finished filming?
Construction restrictions means that only 25% of staff can be on site at any one time.
Yes, except for auctions.
Thanks David.
Auctions will be interesting – ‘real’ buyers/agents only in attendance I think. Social distancing, ‘deep cleanse’ before and after, etc.
