1. SOUNDBITE (English) Alison Oliver, actor:
"No, I just had a huge wig and I was in a room that was full of lit candles and then before the scene I just went like that (tosses hair) before we started rolling and then as I was beginning the scene, I could just hear like 'ssssss.' And the scene was, and I just went, 'I'm on fire! I am on fire.' And they were like, 'What?' And I was like, 'no I'm literally on fire,' but it didn't, it didn't... I think, I think it was just me saying it and then suddenly people were like 'Oh God' I think people could hear the sizzling actually because of the mic that was it and yeah. But luckily it didn't sort of escalate but there's a clip somewhere where you can see it."
