Netflix shares truth behind Adolescence episode where Stephen Graham drives a van while acting
Starring the likes of Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty, the miniseries is made up of four hour-long episodes that are filmed in continuous one-hour long takes, following a 13-year-old boy who has been arrested on suspicion of murder. One took to X, asking a film account: 'Please watch Adolescence (Netflix) and tell us how it's ALL done! Especially episode 4 (driving in the van). This show is blowing my mind!' While it looks like he's driving the van in the series while acting, this obviously isn't the case, and with no cuts, there isn't an opportunity to hook it up to another vehicle to do the steering. A camera can be seen in front of the van's windshield, capturing the character's movements and blocking their view - another reason why the British actor couldn't have been driving. Speaking about episode one in the behind-the-scenes video, Graham said that the episodes as seeing ‘a swan glide gracefully across water, but its legs are flapping like mad’. Footage across all the behind-the-scenes videos reveals meticulous movements from camera operators to ensure they keep the scene going and get the shot they want, handing cameras off to each other up the stairs, for example. It's a stressful way of shooting, with a lot of planning and rehearsal required to get it all right, though Cooper previously revealed that one of his favourite moments came from a bit of improvisation with Doherty.
