Short TV film written by David Nicholls about a couple (Sarah Parish and Peter Capaldi) on holiday in Spain who are disrupted by freshly engaged neighbours Anna Madeley (In Bruges, Patrick Melrose, All Creatures, Lewis) and Juan Pablo de Pace. It was nothing particularly different or original, though we liked that Parish could speak better Spanish than the supposedly brilliant fiancée.
We thought it might have been Mallorca. It wasn't:
"It was an amazing location in Javea, between Alicante and Valencia: it was glorious weather, we were filming in a fantastic villa with its own pool and at the foot of this enormous mountain – we couldn't have asked for a better location but we couldn't sunbathe!
"Both Peter and I were covered in factor 5,000! If you saw Peter out there he was wearing a bandana, a huge hat, long-sleeve tops every day and long trousers and I was in a huge sunhat – we weren't allowed to get brown in any way or look at all healthy because of the parts.
"Plus we were acting with two of the most good-looking people I've ever seen in my life – Juan Pablo Di Pace, who plays Felipe, and Anna Madeley, who plays Esther. So by the end of the two weeks it hadn't done much for my self-esteem!" laughs Sarah. "They were great characters to play, though!"
