Connor has admitted that filming in the Sahara was not easy and presented itself with a number of challenges. The actor said: "We did a lot of day for night stuff as well, which was the hardest because night-time in the [Sahara] desert is normally extremely cold, so we'd be wearing tonnes and tonnes of layers but we were shooting at midday in the heat." Connor went on to add: 'And those were unbearably hot and your rifle's getting heavier and heavier and heavier, take after take after take. That was a struggle." However it was not all hard work as he revealed that the cast did manage to enjoy themselves and have some fun in the Moroccan sun. He spoke of spending time on Jeeps in the desert with purely just the main cast, saying: "I have great memories of us bombing it through the Sahara desert in the Jeeps. 'You couldn't see the camera. There was no supporting artists anywhere. It was just us in the cars bombing it, living like the characters. He added: 'Those are my fondest memories of the whole thing." Show creator Steven Knight opened up on the similarities between the characters in his new show and that of BBC juggernaut Peaky Blinders. He admitted: "It does seem that there is a sort of a theme with Peaky and this, where it is a group of men who are probably not the easiest people to fit into conventional society.'
