“i’ve never done a ghost story before...”

Till death do us part: Matt and Lisa are torn apart – but why?

3 MIN READ

PLATFORM 7 | ITVX THURSDAY

This supernatural thriller – based on Louise Doughty’s 2019 novel of the same name – follows Lisa Evans, a young woman who frequents platform seven of a railway station. After witnessing a tragic event at the depot, Lisa’s blurred memories come into focus, unearthing a connection between that moment and her own life – and death. The four-parter stars Jasmine Jobson (Top Boy) as Lisa; Toby Regbo (A Discovery Of Witches) as her boyfriend Matt; Rhiannon Clements (Hollyoaks’ Summer Ranger) as Lisa’s best friend Izzy, and telly veteran Phil Davis as Edward – a man with an unearthly connection to Lisa. Here, Jasmine, and Toby tell Inside TV more…

Hi, both! What appealed to you about this series?

Jasmine It has to be the supernatural thing. There’s something about being a spirit and being around people without their knowledge, and playing about with them when they’ve irritated you! And I hadn’t played anybody like Lisa before, so it was also about trying something new.

Toby This is the first modern piece I’ve done in ages. I seem to just do period dramas! So to make the switch towards psychological realism, I feel as though you can get away with more. And I’ve never done a ghost story before.

The doctor will see you now: Matt and Lisa feel the chemistry

It must feel strange not acknowledging that the other actor is there?

Jasmine Yeah, it definitely felt weird being in scenes yet not really being involved. I had to get used to not having anything to say!

Toby Trying to pretend that somebody isn’t there is surprisingly difficult. It’s interesting how your body just responds to somebody being there, like trying to pass right beside someone without making any little movements that you naturally do to accommodate another human being.

How was it playing those moments where Lisa walks through walls?

Jasmine So that took a while to figure out. I’d walk through open doors, and I accidentally pushed a door open once! But once we knew what we were doing, it was wicked.

Toby, do you think that Matt believes in ghosts?

Toby No – I think, as a doctor, he’s a man of science. I don’t think he has any inkling that Lisa is standing behind him, nor that he has a sense thatt there’s life after death. Which is interesting in terms of where the story goes…

There’s also an important relationship between Edward and Lisa – Jasmine, what was it like working with Phil Davis?

Jasmine Oh, Phil was absolutely amazing. He’s such a phenomenal actor. Our scenes together were very special. It was a delight to have him at the station playing Edward – who has quite an interesting secret of his own…

Do you believe in ghosts?

Jasmine I sometimes see spirits and I can tell if there’s a presence around me. One thing that I’ve always been aware of is you must never say hello to them if they’re in your home. You need sage and frankincense, and you need to bless your house.

Toby I haven’t had any first-hand experiences with the supernatural and I’ve always tended to err on the side of the material. However, that doesn’t mean to say that when I’m staying at my friend’s place in the Dorset countryside, when the moon’s out and there are owls, that I don’t sprint across the lawn to get back inside the house!

CHIEF in-spectre

RHIANNON CLEMENTS TELLS US HOW HER ALTER EGO TURNS AMATEUR SLEUTH…

When it comes to her best friend’s untimely passing, Rhiannon’s character is fixed on finding the truth…

“The big thing for Izzy is that she doesn’t believe Lisa’s death was suicide,” she says. “She thinks that there’s something else to be uncovered – and won’t let it lie till she knows what.”

As for believing in the supernatural, making the series led to a spooky coincidence for the star...

“Phil’s character has a dog, and in some scenes, it barks at what’s seemingly an empty space,” shares Rhiannon. “I recently moved into a Victorian house, and my dog has now started barking at empty spaces. It does leave me with chills!”

"Get rid asap", "Would be stupid" - Many Everton fans torn by future of £22.5m-rated "liability"

Moise Kean has endured a tumultuous debut season at Everton.

He first was dropped for disciplinary breaches in November after being late for a meeting for the second time, and then he became the substitute that got substituted just a month later.

But more recently, he’s been in the news for breaking the government’s lockdown restrictions. On top of that, the striker has only managed one goal in 26 appearances.

The Greatest Bargains in Premier League history – How much did they cost?

It’s certainly not gone to plan at Goodison Park for Kean, and now fans have been discussing his future at the club after fresh reports emerged from Italy.

According to newspaper La Nazione, via Sport Witness, the Italian’s agent Mino Raiola is trying to bring him back to the Serie A this summer with Roma a touted destination should they move on from Patrick Kluivert.

The Toffees faithful are torn about whether the 20-year-old should be sold or not, only causing him to be an even more divisive figure amongst Merseyside.

Kean is currently valued at £22.5m by Transfermarkt less than a year after paying Juventus an initial €27.5m (£24m) for his signature.

Here’s what has been said so far…

Need to be keeping him. He’ll come good.

🚮 he has been rubbish & utter disgrace https://t.co/t2Aft0xHwe

— Bainesy (@Bainesy38579264) May 5, 2020

I like the kid . I think he will be a class act. I certainly wouldn’t want to mark him around the penalty box

— Mutley (@nooouch) May 4, 2020

Get rid bad apple

— Mickmcefc

(@Mickmcefc1) May 4, 2020

Has he apologised for his actions? Normally I would say he needs a second season, but got a bad gut feeling about him being a major flop

— Gilroy (@AlexGilroyElbow) May 4, 2020

He’s barely played and we won’t sell a player after moving mountains last year just to get him. What would we gain by selling him? Tell me that? We need young, promising talent to push us forward and he’s has it.

— Penn State are Cotton Bowl Champs! (@IamBradMinoski) May 4, 2020

Get rid asap

— A southern blue EFC (@bertb1978) May 4, 2020

He’s a young lad and acts like it. He’s clearly got talent, but there’s a smack of Mario Balotelli about him. That’s worrying.

— bladder (@TyroneHollow) May 4, 2020

Keep him. He’s barely got play time it’s been one year and he’s young give him a chance to get the hang of everything

— Dr. Umar Oluwafemi Johnson (@jkasoro2) May 4, 2020

Hes uselessand a liability, oust him.

— OnThe308 (@OnThe308) May 4, 2020

Definitely keep him. Very few players his age succeed straight away in a foreign country. He has the talent, just needs time and the right coaching. Another full season under Carlo should help.

— Alex (@the_alexpeace) May 5, 2020

He’s absolutely dreadful.. send him back

— Maxwell Silverhammer (@maximossilver) May 5, 2020

Got to nurture him. Carlo can improve him and make him worldclass. Plenty of potential. Will be a better asset in a few seasons. Just needs more time on and off pitch to mature. It’s up to him. However EFC can’t condone anymore attitude problems. Hard work and application only.

— Jeffrey hitchmough (@Jeffreyhitchmo1) May 5, 2020

Kean has insane potential and we would be stupid to let him go.

— kevin (@KDoc84) May 4, 2020

AND in other news, Everton must strengthen in this CRUCIAL area next season…

Platform 7

Published Tue 28 Nov 2023

Interview with Toby Regbo - Matt

So, what can you tell us about Dr. Matthew Goodson?

Matthew is Lisa’s boyfriend, they meet at the hospital, where he works, so there is a slight breaking of the rules in order to get her number. And then we follow their relationship as more and more of her past comes back to her memory as she learns more and more about her life and we see how their relationship unfolds.

One of the conversations that we had with Paula Milne was about her first-hand experience actually of being married to a surgeon and that type of temperament. We talked about the adrenal junkie – Matthew sort of thrives on the adrenaline and things change him all the time. When he talks about A&E, he talks about how he lives that process, that there is always something new. I think that feeds into his personality, he has a passion and a hunger but it is also extremely hard on himself. We see in flashbacks, that his relationship with his mother is not the best, so he thrives on the next thing in order to feel the thrive of surgery, the thrive of saving someone's life, and the chase and the passion in his relationship.

What do we learn of Matthew in the early part of the show? Do we see Matthew before the flashbacks?

Everything is seen through Lisa’s memory. When I talk about my character, really what I'm talking about is what he means to her. All the characters are how they serve her really. So it's difficult to talk about him without talking about her. Even the memories- the way that she remembers them as a ghost, there are memories that aren't infallible so it mutates as she remembers more. Our memories are not infallible.

When you first read the script, what were your thoughts about the show?

I liked it because it's a mixture of genres that we don't sometimes see. It's a ghost story, it's a detective story, it's got elements of Noir. Almost my stuff with Lisa is this sort of a two-hander, almost like ‘Blue Valentine’ type relationship aspect of it and they will blend together. Which I hadn't seen before so it's a new mix match of genres.

What was it like working with Jasmine?

My favourite scenes - plural - have been really working with Jasmine. We've shot this montage or collage of moments of our relationship and a lot of that takes place in her flat and that was the one set build that we had, most of its filmed on location but we had one or two weeks that we filmed just basically us - all of these very intense scenes, our life together over the course of a week or so and that was really great. It's like filmmaking when it's very self-contained there's nothing else to worry about and it was almost like shooting a play just a two-hander. Jasmine's great and so we had a lot of fun shooting those scenes. The back and forth, the love, the passion. It's been great.

Do you have an idea of what the audience might take away or enjoy from this?

I suppose if there was a theme that was slightly metaphysical - moving on and what keeps us stuck? If there are ghosts, what are they really? Is something left behind that can't they move on from until something is resolved? Something is dealt with? I think it's a beautiful story in that respect. Watching somebody do what it takes in order to let go and in order to move on you know. For a lot of the show, she is stuck in a particular place, in a particular time, in a particular memory, unable to move through it and it takes bravery and internal courage to be able to move through and move past it to, and move on.

Interview with Jasmine Jobson - Lisa

Tell us a bit about Lisa...

Without giving away too much, Lisa is a ghost, trapped at a station. She's very strong minded and strong willed and she witnesses a devastating incident that jogs her fractured memory. Along her journey she finds similarities to something that she's experienced herself, which in turn gives her a lot of power, which is very exciting.

When you first read the script, what was your reaction?

There's a lot of flashbacks so I was trying to keep up with the timeline and how things progressed, but the script was phenomenal. There's so much description, it's almost like the book - so I could visualise every scene for every moment because it was so beautifully detailed, Paula smashed it!

Your character is a ghost - as a concept for an actress, what were your thoughts?

My biggest concern about playing a ghost would have been the special effects side of things, - how I'd manage to walk through things, figuring out at what point in the story I'm able to do certain things as it changes as the story goes on. I’ve always been fascinated by special effects and how they film people walking through you, so it’s been a beautiful thing to be a part of.

Sometimes it felt odd, talking and no one saying anything back to you - I had to adapt to being a fly on the wall. Especially being the main character in the show that often doesn't have a lot to say in scenes - I'd say about 60% of the job was facial expressions which is a tough skill to manifest. I was definitely ready for the challenge and think I did pretty well! Being a fly on the

wall was a crazy experience, to have everyone talking about you but no one talking to you and then when Lisa speaks no one responds!

What was your experience of filming at the train station?

Well, filming the show was so much fun, but being in a train station in the middle of winter definitely wasn't fun all the time, I had to constantly act like I didn't feel the cold as a ghost - so I would always try to imagine I was in a hot country like the Dominican Republic! Other than the weather, it was a breeze! I'd come straight off of another job so coming into Platform 7 was a little bit challenging going from one project straight to another but it meant that my performance is all unchecked emotion, it was all round amazing.

Do you have any favourite scenes?

All of the supernatural stuff! It was so fun to play.

What can you tell us about the other characters at the station - there's a whole community... There's a lot going on - outside of my character’s family, there’s Matt - played by Toby who was so great to work with, we had such a laugh. There’s Transport Police Officer Akash and station worker Melissa too and another ghost Edward. He has his own story that viewers will discover too - Phil Davies is a phenomenal actor and a lovely guy, he's like a BFG (big friendly giant!). He's so great, I learnt a lot from him. It was nice to have another character that Lisa can talk to as well so we bounced off each other well too which was lovely.
