SBIFF Cinema Society Q&A - Slow Horses with Gary Oldman and Douglas Urbanski recap

A recap of the juiciest tidbits from the panel featuring Gary Oldman and Douglas Urbanski:

About season 6

Season 6 is currently in pre-production, with most episodes already written.

Adam Randall, the director for Season 4, will helm the entire sixth season.

Production has allowed Randall to contribute to the writing process by joining the writers in the writing room.

Gary Oldman has already read the scripts and finds them fantastic.

About season 5

Season 5 will unveil a significant revelation about Lamb's past.

Viewers will catch a glimpse of Lamb's house.

Gary Oldman describes this season as truly impressive and with a more Le Carré-esque feel, akin to season 2.

Expect an intense exchange where Lamb blackmails Diana.

New, incredible insults directed at River are on the horizon.

Season 5 is a 'three farts season,' says Oldman, laughing his ass off.

About Mick Herron

Gary Oldman asked Mick Herron for extra information about Lamb when working on S1 but quickly realized that the character is a mystery even for his creator. Herron's response is often "I don't know".

Mick Herron asked Gary Oldman to accompany him to a signing session just before the release of the first season, not realizing that the show would eventually relieve him of his signing session obligations for good.

It was actually Mick Herron who suggested using David Cornwell, John Le Carré's real name, as the name on Lamb's passport that briefly appears in S1. And Kristen Scott Thomas's casting as Diana Taverner was inspired by her previous work with Gary Oldman on the set of The Darkest Hour.

Behind the scene

Will Smith is frequently on set, going over scripts with the actors.

Occasionally, there's room for improvisation.

With a single director overseeing the entire season, the Slow Horses team remains committed to their vision for nearly a year of continuous work on set.

Gary Oldman receives the scripts really early for every season.

Fart acting are obviously "sound effects".

There are emails going back and forth between Oldman and production about 'fart acting.' The one in the car in S3 was praised as 'robust.' There were emails about 'the frequency' of the sound because the car has leather seats, being a Rolls Royce.

The trench coat remains the same, unchanged since the very first season. No one is allowed to wash it.

Kristen Scott Thomas's casting as Diana Taverner was inspired by her previous work with Gary Oldman on the set of The Darkest Hour.

Almost all the crew come back year after year.

Gary Oldman compares working with the cast of Slow Horses to the joy of winning his Oscar.

The cut after the gunshot. Lamb trying to hold Shirley back from seeing Marcus' body. The fucking slow pan to his legs laying in the hall. Standish pleading with Shirley not to shoot Patrice. "He loved you and he wanted you to love yourself." JK shooting Patrice for her. Lamb insisting on getting Marcus' active agent pension for his family.

The fact that Shirley is going to have the walk past the spot where her best friend died every day while she works.

I'm ill.

ive been having a lot of fun watching slow horses so far but i have to say one of my favourite scenes of all, just a real standout, is the season 4 scene of river and louisa at the pub. it's so... painfully sincere and awkward and a bit silly and wildly endearing.

two people neither of whom have an abundance of experience having friends have a sit-down at a pub and one of them goes on this whole rambling preface of like Maybe We Have Perhaps Grown Closer I Mean I Feel Close To You And Like I Might Be Able To Invite You For A Drink Away From The Office At Lunch To Disclose Some Personal Information That Is Upsetting To Me Because That Is Maybe What Friends Do. If That’s Cool. was practically issuing a formal request to Be Buddies. im obsessed.
