Ashley Walters regrets filming mistake in "Adolescence."
Ashley Walters, known for his role in "Top Boy," recently shared a behind-the-scenes story from his latest project, "Adolescence." He plays detective Luke Bascombe in the Netflix series, which is filmed in one continuous take. This unique filming style means that if something goes wrong, the entire team has to restart the scene. During a recent interview on Capital Xtra Breakfast, Walters confirmed an incident that caused one of these resets. He admitted that he mistakenly used the wrong name while filming, calling out to his son’s character instead of the character he was pursuing. This mistake happened in episode two and left him feeling upset. Walters recalled the moment when director Philip Barantini approached him to help lighten the mood after the error. Walters described feeling like he let everyone down, comparing it to a team player dropping the ball in a game. He expressed his determination to redo the scene immediately, showing his commitment to making it right. Since its premiere last week, "Adolescence" has captured viewers' attention, and Netflix has shared insights on how they achieved the one-shot filming technique. Fans can now stream the series on Netflix.
