No.

No.

on Osea. I didn't know.

I'm the direct descendant of
the man who built this place.

JUDE LAW: Looking back,
I don't know that

I was attracted to playing
the character

more than the people
in the project,

because I love the whole crew.

From the top down,
there were just such extraordinary people.

To me, it was all of that,
it was all the pieces

that really made me want to be
a part of it,

and looking back I realize why,
because after the first week,

when I'd had
a sort of breakdown,

I'd been in the freezing cold
sea,

I'd been running through
brambles,

and that was just the end of
week one.

I suddenly thought, "What have I
got myself involved in?" (LAUGHS)

DIRECTOR: And, action!

♪ (TENSE MUSIC PLAYS) ♪

DENNIS KELLY:
It's been a really long

sort of gestation.

And it's partly because it's
such a weird idea to do this.

It's such a difficult idea for
people to get their heads round,

and it wasn't really until
we started talking to Sky

and HBO, that we found partners
that were just willing

to give it a go.

(MUFFLED SCREAM)

FELIX BARRETT: The Oseans have
their own form of Christianity

and in fact it's called
The Third Day,

because on the first day,
God created the heavens.

On the second day,
God created the Earth.

On the third day, God separated
the land and the sea.

And so this particular form,
where they believe that

there is a sort of
Christ figure,

but he comes from the water.

Felix had this idea of, like,
a stranger comes to town

sort of thought, you know.

So I began to think of this guy
Sam, and the more I began

to think about him,
the more there was something

that was going on in his past
that he needed to resolve.

So that's sort of where
it came from.

Looks like you're staying.

No, I can't stay.

You can't leave.

So always with The Third Day
we knew that we wanted to have

two very distinct halves
to the story.

So, we wanted to imbue that with

both the two different seasons.

So, summer is a very rich
and vivid palette of color.

And it's got a real sort of
bucolic, lucid, light,

and very sort of pervasive sense

of powerful summer feelings,

both kind of in the temperature,
but also the crickets

in the soundtrack.

And down to the way
that the camera moves, as well.

There's such a strong following
of Sam's character

with... Jude Law's in nearly
every frame of this piece,

which is really unusual.

And then for winter,

wonderful director
Philippa Lowthorpe

created
a very different aesthetic

but within the same world,
you know,

so we used grays and blues
and deep greens.

When I first read it,
I was immediately engrossed,

intrigued, constantly surprised,

and I just loved
this character of Helen.

Um, kind of loved Sam
as well as really despised him,

and was just really intrigued
about this amazing world

that was created.

And then, when I discovered that
Osea actually exists as an island,

that blew my mind,
and I was like, "I'm in."

ELLIE: Are we driving on that?

Yeah, it's a causeway.

It was built by the Romans.

See that island over there?
Can you see it?

It's called Osea.
Isn't it incredible?

We're gonna have so much fun,
aren't we?

Yeah?

I think this is one of
the hardest logistic operations

that I've ever filmed.

It was a huge, massive great,
like, machine

trying to get us all
on and off the island

across the causeway.

It was like an absolute
military operation,

planned down to
the last centimeter.

The causeway is open for
four hours a day or something,

and, you know,
when that's closed

then everything has to come in
by boat.

PADDY CONSIDINE: When I
read the script... (CHUCKLES)

...there was a part of me
thinking,

"Y... you'd get off the island."

You know, you wouldn't be
that stuck there, surely,

from Sam's point of view.

You'd find a way off there.

And when you actually
stay on the island,

I started to feel that bit
of, like, restriction

like, "I can't get out
of here." (LAUGHS)

The whole thing has been the
most challenging job I've ever done.

Hands down.

You know,
when you start thinking

and delving in your heart
and your soul,

the pits of grief
that you must go through

when you lose
not just someone you love

but your child,

it's not a very pleasant
place to be

and I've been there
for four months every day

and it's not been easy.

But there have been lots of days
that have been joyful.

Working with this
incredible cast,

trying to keep a straight face
in front of the Martins

with Emily and Paddy who
are just hilarious and brilliant,

without being over the top.

Jude is an acting machine.

I mean, he is working
incredibly hard.

He's very precise,
he's very focused,

he's really, really
on top of the material,

full of ideas, very creative,

just a real actor's actor,
you know,

and really a trooper.

I just found her.
I... I didn't... I didn't know.

Come with me now, love.

Playing, was it? A little game?

(JESS SOBS)

Just messing, was it, love?
A little game?

Shut up, you f*cking idiot.

(SNICKERS)

We shot the scene where Sam and
I are trying to get on to Tomo's boat,

and as the day wore on,
the tide started to go out.

There was only like
two inches of water,

so we were kind of in the muck
pretending to swim,

and then pretending to reach up
for the ladder

and hoist ourselves on,

and it was just so absurd.

I love those moments always.

The scenes where I have
to get in the water,

it is
absolutely bloody freezing.

I'm freezing not even
anywhere near the water,

and I have to swim!

(CLOCK TICKING)

I haven't worked
in television much

so it's a fascinating
and strange experience

to make one show
with two different directors.

FELIX: I think what's so great
about it is that everyone knows

what we're trying to do
with this is push form,

and they're both so open.

And slipping
from one to another,

both with very particular
approaches and styles.

But playing the same character
has been really extraordinary,

and I think a lot of the actors
have felt that,

a lot of the team, the crew,
have felt that.

I honestly can say
it's been amazing.
