This ten-part period drama is based on two Royal Navy explorer ships in the Arctic, set in 1845. The ships were built to scale in studio, which had to furnished with all the correct period detail and nuances of the nautical theme. With a team of approximately 60 crew in set decoration, I managed all the workshops that produced the various elements to complete the design of the show. This production was shot in Budapest and Croatia, which meant having to coordinate moving large set decoration elements, such as an entire Royal Navy camp and an Inuit village, both of which were made by the Set Decoration department.
We also shot various London interiors on location in Budapest. Hence, I coordinated all the London prop hires too.
