Editing

While our exhausted film crew get some much needed R&R, the production baton is passed to our team of skilled editors who are starting to piece together the first 13 episodes of Weird & Wonderful Hotels. With hundreds of hours of globe-trotting footage to get through, there could be a few late nights ahead – someone get this chap a double espresso!

On Friday we headed down to the studio to record the theme tune for Weird & Wonderful Hotels.

Written by Sleepydog’s very own Mark Hilton, the surf-rock inspired track is one you’re sure to be humming long after you’ve watched the show!

A massive thank you to everyone involved for all their fantastic work.

Take a look at our photostream to see more photos of the day.

The crew are currently filming at Blow Up Hall 5050, what has been described as “the strangest place in Poland”! And, whoever said that, really wasn’t exaggerating!

What the guys are about to experience here is an art-hotel where the rooms choose the guests… weird!

Breaking news! The Weird & Wonderful crew are behind bars!

But don’t worry, they’re just visiting Hostel Celica, a converted prison in Slovenia. The production team have had a long drive from Switzerland but hopefully the art-themed hostel was worth the wait.
