Aspects of production covered

The complexity of David Tennant and Lesley Sharp doing their lines in near-perfect sync with each other for several scenes within this episode.
The difficulties had in doing the sound post-production for this story, as it's self-contained and had little in the way of typical monster sound work.
Shifting blame between the characters in the story, and what that might say about human nature.
The SFX and camera work required for the shots of the cabin been shunted back and forth.
Heavy work required of Lesley Sharp, having to recite near enough every other line within the script, and how autocues were carefully placed at times to aid her.
The requirement of actors miming in certain takes whilst other actors are recorded clearly, so that the sound team could later take the individual tracks and effectively mix them together.
Some of the foley sounds used within this episode.
The stunt work for the Hostess and Sky getting sucked out.
