I worked for the security firm who done protection for this when they filmed in Newcastle.It's funny thinking back the only actor i recognised at the tim was Christopher Ecclestone because of Let him have it and Cracker.Mark Strong seemed a decent bloke always strumming on a guitar,Gina Mckee was really nice always asking how you were,but the funniest thing was Daniel Craig he loved a drink and spent all his time with the grafters on the sets playing dominoes.I'd never guess he'd be James Bond
Brings it back to me - I wasn't sure at first when it started but when Gina McKee started laughing at Eccleston I remember at the time thinking - this is going to be good... :)
Considering the other characters were played by Daniel Craig, Mark Strong and Gina McKee, the competition for acting honours in this series is very fierce.
I have Patricks autograph! He worked at Land Registry Coventry :)

The way they've aged Eccleston throughout the series: I've never seen anything like it.

The Doctor and James Bond in the same place. I think the appropriate phrase is "Fantastic"!

Why is that kid wearing a Mackems scarf?

In the '60s, people went to watch NUFC one week and the mackems the next - not the same fierce rivalry then.
Plus, Gina McKee herself is a mackem.
