Something special is happening in Shrewsbury. A new film is being made right here in town, led by friend of the show Luke Allen, who’s brought along Executive Producer Alyssa Roehrenbeck — flying in from the States for a whirlwind week.

This episode takes a few scenic detours, but Alex eventually sits down with Luke and Alyssa to dig into what makes this project so exciting: how Shrewsbury’s character shapes the film, why the script is already turning heads, and yes — Luke finally gets to talk about that incredible cast.

You might spot Dean‑Charles Chapman, Mark Addy, Russell Tovey, Eleanor Tomlinson and more wandering around Shrewsbury as First Christmas begins filming. The Biscuit has even been invited to help document the journey with regular updates, and Luke’s promised we can come on set for interviews. So consider this episode the starting point of that adventure.

A brilliant chat. Thanks, Luke and Alyssa
