Series creator Ben Richards explains in broad terms the origins of the plane crash idea, and how love leads characters to irrational decisions.

6: The Evolution of Karl and Elise
Stephen Dillane and Clémence Poésy’s character relationship is discussed in what can only be described as a superficial way. The strand notes there is no sexual tension, but rather a brother-and-sister liaison. With Elise falling in love for the first time on other shores, so to speak, the fact that this particular interaction in the series is without depth and not believable isn’t addressed – she’s the nearest thing Planet Earth has to a Vulcan, hence why her sort-of ‘falling in love’ just doesn’t gel.

7: Deleted Scenes
The notable scene is picking up on a fracking licence not being granted, the initial fight against it being mentioned briefly in what was broadcast, denoting success for the protestors. Given the current climate of the UK Government wanting to frack our soil and water into a poisonous unsalvageable soup, and the Scottish Government having now placed an indefinite moratorium on it, this could have been seen as a topical ‘hot potato’ for the series to be engaged with.
