We were in the dark about film set lighting, so we had the bright idea to track down a Practical Electrician, aka a Prac Spark, aka Danny Fealey, to illuminate us.

Danny joins us fresh from the set of 'Deadpool 3' to shed some light on watt those bright Sparks get up to...

What's the difference between a Spark, a Gaffer and a Rigger?

How much of it is real, and how much of it is fake?

Do they still work on films that are set before electricity existed?

Also this week, there's a triple helping of your Crew Confessions, a questionable Keir Starmer impression, and some exciting 'Severance' news!

The podcast heads to Scotland this week to meet Glaswegian scenic painter and prop maker, Gary Loughran.

In this episode, Gary tells us why he loves making stuff look like other stuff for the big screen, using paint to turn rubber into wood, foam into marble, and polystyrene into stone.

Hear how Gary has brought props and sets to life on 'Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves', 'Outlander,' and the cancelled 'Batgirl' movie.

Meanwhile, Laura gives an update on her first 'Laura Goes Digging' expedition, and debuts the (annoyingly catchy) jingle she's made for it.
