Being a National Trust property the house is open to the public today, and you can actually walk around the rooms they are filming in. Occasionally rooms get closed for a few minutes and there's a take, then the rooms are re-opened again! For example, in a bedroom and the Banqueting Room.
There are a number of pretty women hanging around in white dresses - the clothes are a little similar to the Vampire ones last year, but are more like dolly costumes. One of the NT guides observed that these are the monsters in the show, without their heads on at the moment. During a take you can hear what sounds like crowing sounds coming from inside the rooms. The house itself looks like an immense dolls house, so a lovely setting for the story!
There may be night shooting going on, nobody "famous" in sight, but they are definitely filming during the day today, maybe a second unit. Crew are quite relaxed, with some playing frisbee in the sun outside. Also, an orange vaguely TARDIS-shaped cube is being assembled on the lawn, though whether that is a prop or a film aid not so sure! Various vehicles are clustered up together, maybe to hide some better known cast members!
Stop Press: Karen and Arthur are here!
