WALLOW IN THE GLORIOUS ART ON SHOW

Art is one of the few things the family enjoy in the series as they move from Paris to Amsterdam, Barcelona and Venice. ‘We filmed in the Louvre when it was closed for the day, as well as the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Joan Miro gallery in Barcelona,’ says Saskia Reeves, who plays Connie. ‘We had this incredibly privileged experience of being near these paintings you’d normally have to wait to see. It was incredible to film in these galleries.’

Tom Taylor, who appears as Albie, says the experience for him was exactly the same as it was for his young character. ‘I’ve never actually been to any of those places before, so just as Albie is exploring this grand tour, so was I. After every shoot the local crew would tell us about the area and show us different sights, so it was a massive learning experience. A lot of the time I’m not actually acting because I was taking it all in, just as Albie would have.’
