No CGI back then — just real dogs and real gags. I had the pleasure of working with Glenn Close, Joely Richardson, and Joan Plowright — all lovely, all total professionals. And then there were my two mates, Mark Williams and Hugh Laurie, who by the end of the shoot hated me (I enjoyed my work a bit too much) — I spent the entire film throwing props at them, burning them and blowing them up (safely, of course), and dropping them into molasses. The snow effects were new to me at the time, and I learned a lot on this show.
