The scene with Billy with Honey and Jay which was supposedly in Blackheath warming up I don't think was filmed yesterday. It looked like it'd been filmed in a nearby field to Elstree and I'm not sure about the scenes after they finished the marathon were filmed on the day either. Both actors looked like they hadn't just finished the course. I just can't see them just running for six hours and then filming that scene.

However what was certainly filmed yesterday were the scenes filmed at the start line, Greenwich and Tower Bridge which in the latter scene featured other actors talking to them in character briefly.

I think that all probably matches what was to be expected. Clearly anything important for the narrative was shot in advance, as the actual marathon footage would be - to a degree - unpredictable and needed to be droppable. It was done very well, although I'm sure the footage using Gaby Logan's voice incorrectly used all tracks of an export, with the world feed audio mixed in with the BBC feed, since her commentary seemed very low in the mix.

I did have to laugh at the Daily Fail going all out clickbait again though with the headline "EastEnders bosses DELAY release of upcoming episode" (in order to edit in the marathon footage). What did they expect? That they'd be releasing it at 6am before the marathon had even been run?!
