Two metres on the cobbles?
Soap fans will be delighted to hear that the government has given the green light for film and TV crews to begin filming once more.
However, studios are in talks of reopening and working out ways that they can stick to the social distancing regulations so that cast members stay the mandatory two meters apart, say the government.This means TV favourites such as Coronation Street and EastEnders will be filming again before too long.
BBC halted the production of EastEnders but rationed what they had previously filmed by showing just two episodes a week instead of four, and Emmerdale and Coronation Street also reduced the amount of episodes. A spokesman for the Department for Culture said: “The Government is working closely with the screen sector to understand how different types of productions can comply with social distancing guidelines, and give confidence to people in the TV and film industries that there are safe ways in which they can return to work.”
