Brief Provide full post-production on a two-part Christmas special of the septuagenarian romance.

How it was done To convey a festive feel, colourist Jamie Parry used Baselight to add extra warmth to the interiors, emphasising the golds and reds. In contrast, an unfinished house was made to look cold and frosty. Physical and digital VFX frost was enhanced by removing warmer colours. During power-cut scenes, Parry ensured the right level of darkness, while guaranteeing details remained visible.

For the audio, Mark Briscoe used Pro Tools to ensure a crisp dialogue, while keeping the rural atmospheres silent and making the most of any dramatic moments.
