OHMYGOSSIP — Lindsey Coulson had so much energy while filming ‘Bulletproof: South Africa’ she barely slept.
The former ‘EastEnders’ actress plays National Crime Agency (NCA) Detective Chief Inspector Sarah Tanner in the Sky One series – which was created by Ashley Walters and Noel Clarke, who play NCA detectives – and she admitted her brain was “on overload” during the production in the African country.
She said: “I had so much energy I actually don’t think I slept for any of the production. I didn’t.
“I just, almost, couldn’t sleep, which was a mission in itself. There was so much to see, so much to ask questions about.
“My brain was just on overload all the time.”
Lindsey joked: “Those two [Ashley and Noel] I can’t really work with them because they spend most of the time making me laugh, so I can never do anything really serious.
“They are just very funny.”
The 60-year-old star admitted there was “no comparison” to shooting the third series of the drama in South Africa to the first two seasons in London.
She said: “South Africa is a country of extremes.
“You’ve got extreme poverty, extreme wealth, extreme beauty.
“But it has a vibrancy about it.
“Unless you’re there, there’s something about being at Table Mountain … it has this energy that it gives off.”
But South African wasn’t the initial choice for the third series.
Ashley said: “We didn’t really pick it [South Africa].”
Noel added: “We wanted it to be Hong Kong. That was our first option.
“When you think about them [Bishop and Pike] being fish out of water, that was our first option.
“Because them trying to be incognito in a place like that would add another level.
“But going through the logistics of filming, we went through a few places and then Cape Town came up and we were like, ‘Yeah, alright.’
“The production were like, ‘That’s probably the best place if we want to get this done.’ ”
A fourth ‘Bulletproof’ series has since been commissioned, and the new episodes will be filmed in and around London later this year.
