I’m sitting behind a monitor in a muddy tent in Osterley Park, a massive greenscape just outside London. True to English form, it’s gloomy and numbingly cold, massive mud puddles pooling around me as extras in pretty pastel-hued dresses raise their multi-layered skirts to avoid the inevitable splatters.

With a coconut milk hot chocolate in hand for warmth (production tells me it’s the cast and crew’s favourite), I watch as the season’s leads, Yerin Ha and Luke Thompson, film a tender scene by candlelight in the property’s tiny Garden House. Their crackling chemistry is delicious and unsurprisingly extends into lively chatter between takes. At one point, after a few instances of nearly tripping over the open flames, Ha bursts out in song: “This girl is on fire!” much to the amusement of Thompson. Thankfully, the only “slow burn” you’ll find this season is the fiery on-screen romance between them.
