The interview translated :
First question: describe s1.
Teresa: it was fun!
Matthew: filming it was fantastic. It’s a fantasy, she is a witch, I’m a vampire, they’re not supposed to be together.
Teresa: star crossed lovers.
Matthew: exactly, very. Thwarted love. We’ll get into trouble, involving others , daemons, magic…
Teresa : vampires…
Second question: vampires and witches don’t usually get along in fantasy literature. What happens here?
Matthew: we’re not supposed too, in this case destiny intervenes.
Teresa: a strong love.
Matthew: we don’t really like each other in the beginning …
Teresa: yes, that’s right!
Matthew : as happens to many couples!
(they laugh)
Third question about Italian locations.
Teresa: yes, we’ve been to the Dolomites last week, and we even went to sky, no wait…
Matthew: that’s season2!
Teresa: I shouldn’t talk about it!
Matthew: in s1 my castle, Sept Tours , is in France, but we love this country, and we chose an Italian castle instead.
Teresa: and we love the Italian crew. It was great to work with them again. We love being here.
Fourth question: s1 is set in Oxford , in present days , but now you’re wearing amazing period costumes. What is going to happen?
Matthew: (joking) I’m working on a Xmas play, 4 shows in December, we’re rehearsing very hard for it, she is helping me.
Teresa: no! (Laughs)
Matthew: we travel back in time!
Teresa: to 1590, in Elizabethan London, you need to read the books, and come back to watch season 2. I don’t know when it will premiere…
Matthew: me neither…
Teresa: … but we have fabulous new costumes. I’m wearing corsets. And look at him, how dashing.
Matthew: you can’t imagine how much time I need to go to the bathroom.
Host: I don’t want to know. But first, there’s season 1 for Italian viewers.
Teresa: enjoy the first season!
Matthew: have fun!
