0:00:30 > 0:00:34Hello! Yes, it is Millie Inbetween, but not as you know it.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Cos I'm here.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39I've left the CBBC office to come and give you guys the skinny
0:00:39 > 0:00:43on everything you need to know about one of your favourite shows.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46For 12 weeks this summer, Millie has been doing it all again.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Along with a team of 58 people,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50she's hard at work filming Series Two.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And guess what?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54She's invited me to come along and see how they do it.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55We'll meet the cast.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57It's really all glamour.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59- We'll meet the crew. - Action!
0:00:59 > 0:01:00We're going to see what happens
0:01:00 > 0:01:04when things don't quite go according to plan
0:01:04 > 0:01:06and we're going to spend a whole day with Millie behind the scenes.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Ah!
0:01:12 > 0:01:14SHE YAWNS Oh, sorry.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17I am literally never awake this early.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Anyway, this hotel is home away from home for Millie Innes
0:01:20 > 0:01:21when she is filming.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Yes, that's right, her name actually is Millie,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26and she's about to begin her working day.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28PHONE RINGS
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Hello.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Good morning, Millie. It's that time again.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36- OK. Bye.- Bye.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40We asked what you wanted to know about Millie Inbetween
0:01:40 > 0:01:45and you've sent us literally hundreds of questions.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47So, now that she's had a chance to wake up,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49I think it's time we got some answers.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53AmethystBrainyCat, along with others, wanted to know,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56"When did you decide to become an actor?"
0:01:56 > 0:01:59It all started for me when I was about three and, erm,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01one day I was sitting on the sofa,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04watching Tracey Beaker on the TV, sandwiched in between my mum and dad
0:02:04 > 0:02:07and I said, "I'm going to be in a show like that."
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Millie actually got the chance to work with her childhood heroine
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Dani Harmer when she was only nine.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17On my first day of Dani's House, I was freaking out.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21I was so excited cos I'd watched the show for years.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Like, little nine-year-old me was all excited.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27I kind of got over being a bit starstruck
0:02:27 > 0:02:32after about the first week and then we all just became a massive family.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Working with the person who'd first inspired her
0:02:34 > 0:02:36was a big deal for Millie,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38but there was more inspiration to come.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I think the most inspirational person I've worked with would
0:02:41 > 0:02:43have to be Jason Isaacs,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46who's known for Harry Potter and Peter Pan and stuff.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I was in Case Histories with him,
0:02:48 > 0:02:52and it's a series based on books by Kate Atkinson. It's a BBC drama.
0:02:52 > 0:02:58So he taught me loads, and a lot of my work ethic now is to do with him.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I always have to remember that when I'm filming it is a job,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04it's not a hobby.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07It is fun, but we always have to get the scenes done.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10BlushHappyFarmer wanted to know,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12"Who looks after you when you're away filming?"
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Jacqui Green is my chaperone and tutor.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18She's basically the person that looks after me and is there for me.
0:03:18 > 0:03:2224/7, when I'm on set, she's like my second mum
0:03:22 > 0:03:23when I'm away filming.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26The role of a chaperone, really, is to make sure
0:03:26 > 0:03:28that the children are looked after properly.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31That includes where they're staying,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33how many hours they work,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36to make sure that they get their adequate tuition
0:03:36 > 0:03:38and that they're very happy.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41The studio is just a short walk from Millie's hotel.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42It's still really early.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45They haven't even had their breakfast yet,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48but Millie and Co aren't the only early birds.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52The make-up and wardrobe teams have to get the cast ready
0:03:52 > 0:03:54for the first scene of the day.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Right, has anyone noticed
0:03:56 > 0:03:58there isn't actually any wardrobes in here?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Like, seriously, not even one.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05And I need to shave, cos I'm a real man.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09So, I do that, then I get changed into my costume,
0:04:09 > 0:04:11have some breakfast,
0:04:11 > 0:04:15go on set and produce the magic.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18It's all go, getting bed heads tamed before the actors hit
0:04:18 > 0:04:20the studio floor.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21The make-up department.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24The perfect opportunity to gather some more intel
0:04:24 > 0:04:27and get the answers to some of your questions.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Lots of you asked,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31"What's the best thing about being an actor?"
0:04:31 > 0:04:33The best things about being an actor
0:04:33 > 0:04:36are being able to play a character
0:04:36 > 0:04:39and truly lose yourself through performing
0:04:39 > 0:04:42and getting to meet and work with such wonderful people.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It's honestly the only job I could see myself doing
0:04:45 > 0:04:46and I love it with all my heart.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Another popular question was,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50"Is Millie like her character?"
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Some nights when I look at the scenes for the next day,
0:04:53 > 0:04:57I see a scene and I understand where Millie's coming from completely,
0:04:57 > 0:05:01whether it's a piece to MillieCam or she's just in a scene by herself,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04or if it's a scene with Lauren, in particular,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I find that really easy to play because I know what Millie's feeling
0:05:08 > 0:05:11or how to understand what she's saying.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13And she's got a new necklace, which is, like, my favourite thing
0:05:13 > 0:05:15in the whole wide world!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18It says "Millie" with wee glasses on!
0:05:18 > 0:05:20While the cast are getting their cossies and make-up on,
0:05:20 > 0:05:23there's loads more going on behind the scenes.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Let's take a trip to the engine room to meet the people
0:05:25 > 0:05:27who keep this show on the road.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Round here, they're called production.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33There's so much organisation behind a show like this,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35and here is where it all happens.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Whether you need cast, crew, equipment, scripts,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40transport, they'll sort it.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43And if the director absolutely has to have a pink elephant,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46then production will do their very best to find one.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48If there's a pink elephant with an agent,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50then we get into negotiation
0:05:50 > 0:05:53and then we have to work out how much the pink elephant costs
0:05:53 > 0:05:56and exactly how we're going to get it into the studio.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Seriously, though, it takes so much organisation
0:06:01 > 0:06:05to get this show into production and keep it running smoothly.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07There is nothing left to chance.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10All over the studio complex, the team is working to a carefully
0:06:10 > 0:06:13worked-out timetable so everything will be ready
0:06:13 > 0:06:16when the actors arrive on the studio floor.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18And today, I get to join them.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Come on. We've just got time for a sneaky peak
0:06:21 > 0:06:22on set before the cameras roll.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Even though it might look it, none of this is real.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Somebody had to imagine Millie's world
0:06:37 > 0:06:40and then create it completely from scratch.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48OK, so welcome to Millie's mum's house.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50And this is actually the set of the upstairs bit
0:06:50 > 0:06:53and this is Millie's bedroom
0:06:53 > 0:06:55that she shares with Lauren, of course,
0:06:55 > 0:06:57and it's amazing.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00It actually just looks like any teenager's bedroom.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Millie's diary.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I don't know if I'm allowed to touch this, but I've just gone for it.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Shouldn't look at that. It's probably private!
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I like that we've got a fictional band up on the wall there
0:07:11 > 0:07:12called The Temper Hearts.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Unless they're a real band and I'm not cool enough to know them.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Maybe they are.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19The attention to detail in these sets
0:07:19 > 0:07:23are absolutely incredible. There is just so much stuff.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Something which I really love is the photos all around the set.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32That's baby Lauren, which is actually baby Tallulah from
0:07:32 > 0:07:34when she was really, really little.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36How cute is her hair?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40OK, let's, er, have a look at what's downstairs.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Nothing!
0:07:44 > 0:07:47There's nothing down here. It's just set.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Right, guys, just give me a second cos I just need to use the toilet.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54All right? I'll be two... What? Don't use the toilet?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56What? It's not real?
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Ha-ha!
0:07:57 > 0:07:59That could have been embarrassing!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02OK, guys. Eight o'clock. Thank you. Everyone on the floor, please.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Dario, send me the cast straight away.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08And now it's time for me to go to set.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Morning, everybody.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15OK? How are you doing?
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Ever wondered what someone means
0:08:16 > 0:08:19when they say they're calling the shots?
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Well, you're about to find out.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Dez the director is breaking the scene down.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26He explains what each shot will be, what the actors are doing,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28and what the crew should prepare for.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30You just appear right in shot, yeah?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33It should be wide enough to see her go to the bed.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Everyone then gets a chance to rehearse
0:08:35 > 0:08:37before the cameras roll for real.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Go out with you, loser.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43OK, so, Millie for mics, please. Thank you very much.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Let's set for that now, please. Thank you.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48..rest of the script, and, again,
0:08:48 > 0:08:49get right in before you go "A date?"
0:08:49 > 0:08:52You're still saying it on the move.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- It's a cut point.- Thank you.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Now the director has given his feedback,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59let's see how the take goes.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04OK, take one. First scene of the day.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05And action!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Ooh! Double chin prop! What's the matter?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15If you must know, it's Fran.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16She set me up on a date.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21On a date?! With a boy?
0:09:21 > 0:09:25The director keeps a careful eye on every aspect of the scene
0:09:25 > 0:09:27and if anything isn't right,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30they have to do it all over again.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31And you're welcome.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37OK, I'm going to cut and go one more time, please.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41In dramas, like Millie Inbetween,
0:09:41 > 0:09:45the actors have to do the scene over and over and over again.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48That's to make sure that it is perfect.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52CeriseWizzingRose asked, "Is the director very strict?"
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I think the director has to be, to get everything done,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58to get all the scenes done by the end of the day,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00but Dez isn't too strict.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Sh!- Only sometimes. - Don't say that.- No, he's not.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Don't say that. I am strict. I am strict.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Yeah, you are. - I'm strict in a nice way.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09In a not a strict way.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11THEY LAUGH
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Right, thank you. Here we go, then. Action!
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I wonder what Jake's doing today. I might give him a call.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Cut! Thank you. Much better.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28That went well, but do you know what?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30It doesn't always go that smoothly.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32I'll get Mike and Craig out of the way
0:10:32 > 0:10:36and then we can get Miss Knope out of here.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37THEY LAUGH
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Do you know what? I think I'm going to go for a walk.- Fine.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Totally missed me.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45THEY LAUGH
0:10:47 > 0:10:52I shall have to shatter it with the power of my mouth.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53LAUGHING
0:10:57 > 0:10:59CRASHING
0:10:59 > 0:11:01That didn't go as planned.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I'm just going to scout out over here.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06You know, just check it out a little.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Whatever, Mill.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Can you just stop giving me that attitude, please?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Here, I got you these.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Sorry.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Ninja!
0:11:25 > 0:11:26They didn't work.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Chrissie!- Hello, Justin!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- MUFFLED:- What are you doing here? Sorry!
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Well, they do say you should never speak with your mouth full!
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Another popular question was,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44"What's the best thing about being on Millie Inbetween?"
0:11:44 > 0:11:47The best thing about being an actor on Millie Inbetween
0:11:47 > 0:11:50would probably be everyone on the set.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Everyone's just really amazing.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Right, guys, nice and quiet now.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57My special starter, tower of salad!
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Being able to see yourself on TV, it's kind of like,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02"Wow, I did that."
0:12:03 > 0:12:06It's a lot of hard work, but it's fun at the same time.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Like the experience and the people who you meet -
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Millie, Mya, Tallulah.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15All the crew on this know each other really well
0:12:15 > 0:12:18and, obviously, for most of the cast it's the second year running,
0:12:18 > 0:12:20so, like, I go and see films with Theo and Hannah,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22or I've gone bowling with Jeremy,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25or, you know, we've had a few nights
0:12:25 > 0:12:26round at Richard's and that sort of thing,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28where we've all had food together.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31OK, time for some Millie Inbetween stats.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34How many lights do you think there are between Mum's house
0:12:34 > 0:12:35and Dad's flat?
0:12:35 > 0:12:3668 plus 12,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39that's 100 and 2 over there.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Do you know what? It's 200.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I didn't really count them all. The lighting director told me.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47How many cups of tea and coffee will the crew drink during the shoot?
0:12:47 > 0:12:51There'll be 8,640. You're welcome!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Do you know how many breakfasts
0:12:53 > 0:12:56and lunches will be eaten during Series Two?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Yes, Lauren. Yes, I do. Looked into that for you.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- Great!- Turns out it's, er, 5,759.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03- Wow.- Lunch!
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I'm about to make that 5,760.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11That's lunch, then, and you so don't want to see Theo eating!
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Believe me!
0:13:13 > 0:13:17So, let's look instead at something that happened earlier this week
0:13:17 > 0:13:19when Millie Inbetween went on location.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Everything from the studio had to be carefully transported here -
0:13:23 > 0:13:26lights, cameras, monitors, make-up,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29costume props and sound equipment.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30It's died!
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Cut.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39The crew faced many challenges while filming an episode in the woods.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- Forget it!- Craig, if you fall down and break both your legs,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43don't you come running to me!
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Just look at what they had to do to get one simple shot
0:13:47 > 0:13:48of Theo up a tree!
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Stand by.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Action!
0:13:57 > 0:13:59You sort it out!
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Isn't that an ants' nest up there?
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Whah!
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- Got ya!- Cut!
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Let's go back to the studio for another one of your questions.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12So, loads of you guys wanted to know what I do
0:14:12 > 0:14:14when I'm not in front of the camera.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Well, you'll never guess where I'm going next.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20This is my school away from school.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23So, I don't get let off easy when I'm away filming.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I need to keep up with my schoolwork.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Let's go over again, Robert Louis Stephenson.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Millie's chaperone, Jacqui, has two jobs on this show.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39She's also the on-set tutor for all of the younger actors,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41making sure they keep up with the schoolwork, too.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Children can be on set for 9½ hours.
0:14:44 > 0:14:474½ hours of that can be in front of camera.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51And then we have to give them three hours' tuition every single day.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54At a film set, it's really not a holiday.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57They have to cover their English, their maths, their science,
0:14:57 > 0:14:58their geography, history...
0:14:58 > 0:15:02everything that they're doing at school they also do here.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03So, when they go back,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06they just slot in and become a part of their school again.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08And speaking of learning things,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11there are a few tips I want to pick up from Richard,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14who plays Millie's on-screen dad.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17So, Richard, I've heard that you're a bit of an air-guitar hero?
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Air guitar King of Rock!
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Really? Can I be the Queen of Rock?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Do you want the secrets? - I want all the secrets!
0:15:22 > 0:15:23- Step this way.- Yes!
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- We're going to do The Windmill. Feet apart.- OK.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28You need a bit of space, you don't take someone out behind you!
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Don't want to do that.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- And, round! Whoa, whoa, whoa! - Yes! Yes!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Good girl.- Yeah, like it!
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Second move, The Caveman. The Cavewoman!
0:15:36 > 0:15:39You get one down on the guitar, and whey!
0:15:39 > 0:15:40After three. One, two, three...
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Whey!
0:15:43 > 0:15:46And finally, Queen of Rock, I salute you, The Hop. Are you ready?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48The Hop? OK!
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- That's the Windmill, a Caveman, and out.- Right, OK.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- One, two three!- Windmill!
0:15:52 > 0:15:53- Caveman!- Caveman!
0:15:53 > 0:15:54And Hop!
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Whey!
0:15:55 > 0:15:57CHEERING
0:15:58 > 0:16:02So, a lot of our fans want to know what age we all were
0:16:02 > 0:16:03when we started acting.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05So, what age were you?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08I was about 16 when it first occurred to me that it was
0:16:08 > 0:16:10something that I wanted to do.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15I had a very good drama teacher at school who really helped me develop
0:16:15 > 0:16:18and I went to drama school at 18, came out when I was 21,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21and worked ever since. And that was about two years ago!
0:16:21 > 0:16:23SHE GASPS
0:16:23 > 0:16:24THEY LAUGH
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- How old are you?- I was two.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28- No, how old are you now?- Oh, I'm 12.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I was 12.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34My first big thing was with the National Youth Music Theatre.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I did a few years with them and loved it, so have very much
0:16:36 > 0:16:39come from a theatre background and I just loved it.
0:16:39 > 0:16:4212 years old. What were you doing at two - Pampers ads?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- No, I was doing... - That's not acting!
0:16:44 > 0:16:45..Absolutely Fabulous!
0:16:45 > 0:16:47You're not acting at two! You're just running around!
0:16:47 > 0:16:49THEY LAUGH
0:16:49 > 0:16:52We all want to know, who is the funniest person on set?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Hello, hello.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57I'm number one. Cos I've got watermelons on my shirt.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Canals.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00They float my boat!
0:17:00 > 0:17:02SHE LAUGHS
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Nailed it.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05HE LAUGHS
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Come on! That was comedy gold!
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I don't know! Who's the funniest?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Just speak your mind. Just say the truth!
0:17:12 > 0:17:13All right, Theo. He's the funniest.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Do-do-do-do-do-do do!
0:17:15 > 0:17:17It was great, should have been there!
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I think that Craig is one of the funniest characters
0:17:20 > 0:17:21in the series, absolutely!
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Craig takes after Mike, so...
0:17:24 > 0:17:26He takes after Mike, yeah, all of bit of that...
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Very slow, and then a bit manic at times.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Oh, oh, I've done some sketches for the kids' outfits!- Oh, lovely!
0:17:32 > 0:17:34We set up so we sit in the same way,
0:17:34 > 0:17:38we move the same way just to show we've got that father-and-son type.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43We actually put a lot of work... We do, we actually do, don't we?
0:17:43 > 0:17:44HE SIGHS
0:17:44 > 0:17:48But, sometimes, it's funny when it's not meant to be.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Action!
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- No way!- Shh!
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- LOUD THUD - Argh!
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Well, I'm not at one with schools.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Every time I go in one, I feel reminded of a...
0:18:02 > 0:18:04And I'm not at one with...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06SHE LAUGHS
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Not at one with your lines, either!
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Let me bring up my tactical teacher spreadsheet.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15You have a teacher spreadsheet?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17THEY LAUGH
0:18:17 > 0:18:19And, action!
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Yeah, sorry?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26SHE LAUGHS
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Action!
0:18:29 > 0:18:30I mean, how could you mess it up?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I did. I mean, it's unbelievable.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Dad used to think it was cute.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Why are you putting ketchup on a cracker?
0:18:38 > 0:18:39LAUGHTER
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Are you sure?
0:18:43 > 0:18:44Look, he even has a thing.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Can't go from...something!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50It was! You was the one that wouldn't let me have it.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55That's so appalling, why is she even talking to me like I'm not...
0:18:55 > 0:18:57It's not "you was", it's "you were"!
0:18:57 > 0:18:58THEY LAUGH
0:18:58 > 0:19:00How am I raising you?
0:19:00 > 0:19:01I'm sorry!
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Oh!
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Oh, I am sorry - I'm just not used to getting up that early.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Anyway, if they were a real family,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12this is where they'd watch TV together.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Imagine if they were real,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16and Millie Inbetween was still on the TV.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17SHE YAWNS
0:19:17 > 0:19:21You know, and they're all sat around, like, watching it...
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Oh, this sofa is comfy.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Meanwhile, in Glasgow,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31the Whittle family is watching its favourite show.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33And tonight it's all about young love.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Oh, can we watch this? I quite like this show.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Nice pigtails!
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Shut up! No-one can ever see this!
0:19:39 > 0:19:41This is, er, this is Justin.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44He's my new mate.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Oh, he looks like a young Michael Bubbles!
0:19:46 > 0:19:47He's got lovely hair!
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Do you think I'd suit a fringe?
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Nice to meet you all.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Oh, rabbit in the headlights. There she goes again!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Will someone please just tell her that boys are not the answer?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Well, that depends on the question.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02You see, there's nothing wrong with the concept of boyfriends.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04They were very big in the '60s!
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Boyfriends?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Yeah, I had lots and lots!
0:20:08 > 0:20:09She means fringes.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Oh!
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Craig would be much your style. I mean, look at his room!
0:20:14 > 0:20:16So, here I've got my bed...
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Yeah, the whole looking-like-a-bed thing was a giveaway.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22I just kind of lay here and...sleep.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Are those plates...- Hairy?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27BOTH: Urgh!
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Oh, they should open up some windows, let some fresh air in,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32sitting around on your face pads all day.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Can't be hygienic!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36That boy needs a healthy hobby.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Like cross-country running!
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Or hill-walking!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44BOTH: Or...bell-ringing!
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding!
0:20:45 > 0:20:47What a family!
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Ding, dong, ding, dong!
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Lauren?
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Lauren?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Hi?- Lauren?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Lauren.- Lauren.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57No, you're Lauren!
0:20:57 > 0:21:00We need the sofa for the next scene.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Well, that was a weird dream. I am so tired!
0:21:03 > 0:21:06But look at all this lot, they're still working.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08It's very busy, there's still lots to do today.
0:21:08 > 0:21:14But I did manage to grab chat with Millie and Mya between scenes.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16So, guys, how's today going? It looks amazing.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Today's been really good, yeah.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20It's been quite busy for me,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23because this morning I ran four scenes back-to-back,
0:21:23 > 0:21:28and there was blocking and it was all very hectic, but we got it done.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31And what's it like for you two? Cos, obviously, in the first series
0:21:31 > 0:21:36you two were brand-new, didn't know each other well. What's it like now?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- We are besties!- We are best friends!
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- This is just so sweet, I love it!- Yeah!
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Loads of you wanted to know what these young actors miss
0:21:44 > 0:21:45when they're away filming.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I miss everyone that I know.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Like my friends, and my family.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Oh, and my dog. She counts as my family, though.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56I think the person in my family that I miss the most is my
0:21:56 > 0:21:59little brother, Oscar, who's two.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Because whenever I go home he's always saying, "My-My, I love you",
0:22:03 > 0:22:07and, like, he's just so cute and I miss him so much.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10It's been a really, really long day,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13but, finally, they are shooting their last scene.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15And...action!
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Don't take it now, we're eating.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20OpalCrazySilkworm, and loads of others,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22asked the cast what advice they would give
0:22:22 > 0:22:24for young aspiring actors.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29The thing that you need to have is a passion and a stubbornness
0:22:29 > 0:22:32and the desire just to go and do it.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34I think the reason that we don't see enough representation
0:22:34 > 0:22:38of different backgrounds and that sort of thing in the industry
0:22:38 > 0:22:42is that kids are told that you're not going to make enough money.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44And that's a stupid reason not to take up acting,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46so, I would recommend it.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I think if it's something that you want to do,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51let your passion for it show.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Join the clubs that you can.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Even if it's, like, you know,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56you're just doing, like, theatre down the road, who cares?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59You're doing something that you love and as long as you're happy,
0:22:59 > 0:23:00that's good.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I wouldn't be anything without all the experiences that I'd had
0:23:03 > 0:23:06in all those theatre groups - those are where you practice
0:23:06 > 0:23:09and learn and you're doing it, essentially,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12because you enjoy it, rather than just wanting to become famous.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Whatever dream you have...
0:23:14 > 0:23:16do your dream.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Memorise it, and do it.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Thank you, guys. That's a wrap, everyone. Thank you very much.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25We'll see you all again tomorrow morning. Thank you.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27It's hard work making Millie Inbetween,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29but it's also a lot of fun.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47That's horrible!
0:24:01 > 0:24:04But, for Millie Innes, the day is not quite done.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06She's got to learn ten pages of script,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09so that she's ready to do it all again tomorrow.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14I think Millie Inbetween connects with millions of people,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17and I have people messaging me saying,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19this is exactly like my family,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22or, my mum and dad are going through the same thing.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Real life is full of a mixture of tears and laughter
0:24:25 > 0:24:28and that's what we're trying to represent on this show.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31In no way is this show kind of dumbed down for kids.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34You have all that emotional stuff, as well as all this comedy,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36it's a really, really nice balance.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Final question from AmethystSewingClownfish,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42"Where do you see yourself in ten years' time?"
0:24:42 > 0:24:46I'm obviously wanting to take time out for school and exams,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49and if I want to go to university, or drama school,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52or whatever it is I find myself doing,
0:24:52 > 0:24:53I think I will always go back to acting,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56no matter what I do in between.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00I really love it and I wouldn't change it for the world.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04You've all seen what it takes to make Millie Inbetween,
0:25:04 > 0:25:08but this episode couldn't have happened without all of you lot.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12So, for sending in your brilliant questions,
0:25:12 > 0:25:16thank you to LimeKitePrimrose, ScarletFizzySatsuma,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19PurpleTalkativeMango, LilacCrispyZook...
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Do you know what? There's loads of you, just read it for yourself!
0:25:23 > 0:25:26You have made this episode of Millie Inbetween extra special,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29and I hope we've shown you guys a little bit about what
0:25:29 > 0:25:31it's like behind the scenes.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Now, I've had the best day ever, but, I must admit,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37I am more tired than I think I've ever been in my entire life.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40So, I think that's a wrap. Roll the credits!
