Some photos from behind the camera of The Day of the Jackal. This job was and is a personal favourite.
Surveillance training.
Eddie and Lashana were taken through a basic foot and technical surveillance package to help prepare them for their characters.
Sniper training.
We took Eddie to the Bisey range to fire an AT308 with a Schmidt and Bender scope at 1000 metre targets after a morning of intensive theory lessons, followed by applying what he had learned.

MI6 HQ.

Easter Eggs
I always like to stick a bit of Biddiss in there somewhere.
The Phantom.
In my regiment, there was a mysterious being known as the Phantom who would creep in at night amongst the sleeping soldiers and help them with their eyebrows.
So, as an homage to the Phantom, I gave one of the SF 4×4 the callsign prefix Phantom 3.1.
No one ever found out the Phantoms identity.
Duggans army number.
My last for is 5881, and on many shows such as strike back, you might just see it. So I gave it to Duggan. My first report as a recuit in depot para was also used for the scene when duggans recuit repot is read out during a brief at MI6 HQ.
The reception and that Mobile phone.
The show was a great hit and received some attention after the Graham norton show.
Here’s looking forward to season 2.
I think the production was happy with the work we provided.
