Netflix - Black Mirror
In September 2022, a Netflix film crew descended on our house to film some scenes for Season 6 of Black Mirror and it was to be the best shoot at our house to date! The episode in question is called “Joan is Awful” starring Salma Hayek and Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek). Much to my excitement, and after months of waiting with bated breath, whilst keeping my mouth shut about who, what, where, when and why (due to an NDA) Netflix finally posted a trailer, teasing the series and announcing it would be released in June! Whoop whoop, I could finally spill the beans about Salma being in my house. I repeat, Salma Hayek was at my house!! The series was released on 15th June and so here’s some pics from the show below…
"Joan is Awful" is the story of an average woman who is stunned to discover a global streaming platform has launched a prestige TV drama adaptation of her life, in which she is portrayed by Hollywood A-lister Salma Hayek. In addition to Hayek, the episode stars Annie Murphy, Michael Cera, Rob Delaney, Ben Barnes, and Himesh Patel. The episode's directed by Ally Pankiw.”

It was absolutely amazing seeing our house front and centre, right at the top of the 1st episode. It was a great experience, they were amazing, especially Salma, and the crew were wonderful and professional too. The shoot inspired me to create my own Rock Gardens when they left because they took the set dressing Rock Gardens with them. Read about mine here! Here’s some press we got for the house and it’s new found fame. Click on the pics to read the articles and hear my radio interview with BBC Radio Berkshire…
