0:03:43 > 0:03:46on-set and off-screen.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49So, The Lodge is a teen musical mystery drama.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52It follows the story of my character, Skye.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54She's 15, and she's moved from the city to the family's
0:03:54 > 0:03:56country lodge, after the passing of her mother.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59The concert was a hit, the lodge is doing great.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04When we're on set and we're working, we could be working a 12-hour day,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07and it could be cold, freezing, raining, it's nice to get
0:04:07 > 0:04:10a little bit of laughter in the day.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13We were just trying to knock these coconuts off these stands
0:04:13 > 0:04:14with these tennis balls.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Everyone was having a wicked time.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19We do play a lot of table tennis.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22There's a piano, and Josh plays the piano, so he's
0:04:22 > 0:04:23always playing along.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Who's best?

0:04:30 > 0:04:32other, scripts and everything.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34I mean, sometimes it can get stressful, but it's
0:04:34 > 0:04:39such a great cast.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42They're about to go for a take, I'm probably going to have to be
0:04:42 > 0:04:44really quiet in a moment.
