Director Jim O'Hanlon shares a hilarious behind-the-scenes story from his new movie 'Fackham Hall,' a parody of 'Downton Abbey.' He reveals the weirdest discussion he had on set, involving a very rude song and a debate over whether to pixelate a big reveal.

00:00As a director, what was the weirdest direction or, like, request you had to make when it came to, like,
00:06playing out one of these scenes?
00:08I think the trickiest one was Burt Chester's song, which is a very funny song written by David Arnold, who
00:15wrote The Bond, several of The Bond themes.
00:18And it parodies those scenes, you get in Downton Abbey, where the kind of the distinguished guest comes and plays
00:26a little bit on the piano and everyone sort of claps politely.
00:29And our song is very, very, very, it's quite rude, but in a fun way.
00:34And again, without giving too much away, there's a big reveal at the end.
00:38And that had to be thought about quite a lot, the reveal, how much we revealed, whether you would, and
00:43this may be giving away the territory we go into, whether you would pixelate the reveal or whether you would
00:47not pixelate the reveal.
00:50So that was a discussion on set that I didn't think I would be having as a grown adult.
