The James Corden shoot took place at an abandoned jail in South London. We wanted to shoot in a jail to provide a visual connection to his new TV series “The Wrong Mans”, where James Corden (Phil) and Mathew Baynton (Sam) get caught up in a criminal conspiracy.
My wife is Welsh which means that I am a big fan of Gavin and Stacey by default. The character Smithy (played by James) was seen along with other characters singing cheesy ballads whilst driving along. "Life imitating art" James had brought his own play list and was singing along whilst changing into his outfit for the shoot.
James has now become a much loved character, presenting shows such as the Brit Awards, playing the main character in Broadway hits and writing, producing and playing in TV hits such as Gavin and Stacey.
