Fooling the paparazzi - March 31: The paparazzi have been pursuing us for days. A big crowd has gathered outside the newsagent where we are to shoot old Margaret buying a pint of milk. I haven’t yet told Mr and Mrs Shah, who own the shop, that I want them to play the newsagents; to be in a scene with Meryl Streep. I’m afraid it will frighten them. The crowd thinks Meryl must be inside. Then I realise that there’s an old lady wandering through them, asking the electricians what’s going on. Now she’s having a snoop at the catering sandwiches. She’s right under the paparazzi’s noses and they don’t even see her!
