Liaison's Eva Green and Vincent Cassel take us behind the scenes

In the two-minute clip below, Cassel calls the show a "post-Brexit spy series" while Green adds that it is "mixed with an impossible love story and lots of action" before director Stephen Hopkins gives some insights about crafting the series.

"When I first started working on this, you kind of had to figure out how to ground it – how to make you really believe you were right inside the action," he says.

Meanwhile, star Daniel Francis teases that when he first saw the script he was taken aback by the sheer scale of what was being proposed.

"I thought, 'Oh is this happening on television?'" he says. "We're talking about a flood and an aeroplane almost crashing and I'm thinking – 'You're going to do this stuff?'"

Hopkins picks out one sequence in particular – in which enemies hack into a train system – as being particularly challenging to piece together.

Elsewhere, the clip also sees Green teasing that her co-star Cassel is "very intense off screen", adding that there is something "very rugged, very animal about him that suits the character of Gabriel beautifully".

Cassel adds: "I'm not a big guy, so how do you do it when the guy is twice your size? You have to do what you've got to do – you go straight to the point."
