Production: Week Twelve:
Times cited within reports below are in Los Angeles local time, except where indicated

Monday - Tuesday
Filming for the first couple of days wasn't clear, but indications were that preparations for episode seven were well under way to commence with a night shoot on Tuesday evening. This was also Cris D'Annunzio's first evening, who seemed quite taken with John Barrowman!

28 10:07 ST Monday morning beautiful sunny day.
All is peaceful as we shoot and continue to prep biggest ep yet!!!

Not Surprising. I'm upgrading him from dreamy to luscious. Uh-oh!!


Wednesday
Documentation for today indicated that a three-day shoot was planned at 1335 Willow Street, the address being home to the Willow Studios, which provide a number of pre-designed sets for the filming profession (bars, restaurants, apartments, etc.) - the studios had also played hot to a photo-shoot a few weeks before.

as seen in her designs from EP7. You Go Girl!
13:36 You can't help but love her, trust us, the feeling
doesn't go away.

Meanwhile, the weather in Los Angeles was keeping other members of the team happy!

Another night shoot beckons ...
17:03 BBC We're going deep into the night this week... deep into the night.


Thursday
Thursday's shoot included filming somewhere close to the Dodger's Stadium, according to Cris D'Annunzio, whilst Allyson Floyd indicated somewhere dim, dank and cold underground - with multiple shoots in progress these could be completely different locations, of course!

The Wales Screen Commission also commented on filming: "Just heard from one of the Torchwood crew that's seen the first episode, and they say it looks AMAZING, like a tourist video for Wales!!!"

I thought it was PM! O_O No sleep! Gaaaaaaah!

is on location today next to Dodger's Stadium.

Friday
Filming for Friday was documented as 590 South Santa Fe Avenue, which turned out to be a lot and warehouses just around the corner to the Willow Studios!

However, it was a production office 'tour' from Shawna Trpcic for today's TW-Spy!

What can you see in my photo?
