Um, and so we... We... We passed the torch to them, uh, in the last story,
Afterlife, which people saw, there... And, uh, and enjoyed.
And now we're, uh, into a new story that takes place in New York City, but we're shooting it all here in England because we have spectacular stages at Shinfield and Winnersh-
Matt: Uh-huh.
Dan:-State of the art stages, like you'd see at Warner Brothers or Columbia, or uh, ah Paramount there in Hollywood, really great crews-
Matt: Yeah.
Dan: -Really state of the art, uh, facilities... And, uh, it's just fun to work over here... Uh, and so everybody that's... That's come here from, uh, America... Uh, are just loving it, in fact we've got six people on our crew that are gonna move here, they say "I'm moving to London", you know... Um-

Ollie: Oh wow!
Matt: Oh really?
Dan: And did it beautifully, the production design is spectacular from the show... Again, I'm so grateful to work with these pe-people and uh, you know... Ah, they're making the vision of the director and producer come to life... And, uh, um... It's, it's just fun to be able to play that character again and be in... In that world, you know?
Ollie: He's a lovely chap, Ray Stantz, isn't he? He's just lovely.
Dan: Well, you know... He's, uh, enthusiastic about, uh... About the occult, and about the paranormal and the supernatural... He's, uh... They say he's the heart of the Ghostbusters.
Ollie: So that's kinda you, isn't it? You're very enthusiastic about the paranormal as well...
