The Unhealthy Lockdown Habits of BBC Staged
Abstract
The BBC show Staged was filmed and set during the first COVID-19 lockdown and follows David Tennant and Michael Sheen, playing fictionalised versions of themselves, attempting to adjust to the lockdown. This paper looks in to some of the unhealthy habits the background characters displayed during the first series, Adrian Lester’s coping mechanism of running excessively in an attempt to avoid thinking about his problems and Lucy Eaton’s evenings of comfort eating, and investigates the physical ramifications of their coping mechanisms.
