00:00Here we are, behind the scenes on Black Doves.
00:033, 2, 1, action!
00:06Black Doves is a thriller set in the deepest, darkest corners of the world of espionage.
00:14So it's very funny and sometimes very violent.
00:18Did you see that?
00:19Yeah, we saw it.
00:20It's about two people who live multiple lives.
00:23We are here with this wonderful set, which is a replica of an actual location.
00:34And this is an apartment in which Sam and Helen, they enter because they're chasing an assassin.
00:41I've broken in and Kira, Helen, is about to shoot him, so we think.
00:54It's all here.
00:55The two of them realise that they've walked into a booby trap.
00:58Run, run, run, run, run, run, run!
00:59And the whole apartment explodes.
01:04We started the run and then...
01:07It's very cunningly taken over by two brilliant stunt artists.
01:12The two stunt performers will leap off of this wall.
01:16We have the most amazing stunt team.
01:18Sam and Helen are ejected out of the window.
01:23Special effects blow debris, cork and dust after them.
01:28So we try to do as much practically as it's possible.
01:30What we are aiming for is maintain that believability and realism.
01:38And we go to part two, which will be over here, where we do about 22 foot of free fall.
01:44Action!
01:53We are at the underwater stage, Mayflower Studios, filming the jump out of the exploding building.
01:59They were shot going into the tank.
02:06We were shot coming out of the tank.
02:08I need you both to come out of the water a little bit more.
02:14It was very fun to do.
02:16Then the last bit was on the side of a very cold canal.
02:19I was very glad that I didn't actually have to get into the canal.
02:23That was impressive.
02:25You should have seen me when I pushed two entire human beings out of my vagina on the same afternoon.
02:28Just another Wednesday for you, isn't it?
02:30That's how it worked.
02:31But hopefully you will never know that.
02:37I'm very glad we've got a stunt double.
02:39What a soundbite.
