On the Terrace, , , , ,

As we near the end of series one of Night Terrace, On the Terrace host Vaya Pashos talks with writer Lee Zachariah and audio designer David Ashton about the penultimate episode of series one: “Discoworld”.

Anastasia and Eddie have really started to get into the swing of travelling through time and space – despite her objections. But when they end up in a 1970s disco where the partygoers explode, things get really weird… Have they bit off more than they can chew? Vaya, Lee and David talk about their influences, how the show was recorded, guests stars Adam Richard and Naomi Rukavina, and the secrets of the disco soundscape and soundtrack for this episode.

On the Terrace, , , , ,

In episode six of On the Terrace, Vaya chats with Night Terrace head writer John Richards and episode writer Ben McKenzie about the show’s sixth episode: “The Last Hunt”.

Anastasia and Eddie are separated from the house in Australia’s distant past, just as they’re attacked by a vicious beast! Luckily for them, two local hunters are tracking it – and they’re happy to help our housemates get home along the way. Meanwhile someone else is telling the story of this last hunt to a group of children – including one little girl who has a lot of impertinent questions… The crew discuss their thoughts about being on the BBC, writing this episode, Australian megafauna, casting the series – including this episode’s Naomi Rukavina and Gnarnyarrahe Waitairie – and how it all came together.
