Remember the big, dramatic births? The babies are often dolls. Real babies are used sometimes, but they cry. And they poop. One doll was named “Sir Squirms-a-Lot” by the crew.
Also, the actors wear incredibly hot costumes. Heavy wool skirts in a heatwave? Pure suffering. They sweat buckets and smile for the camera. That’s real acting.
And the best part? The show’s famous fog? That’s a machine called a “fogger.” It uses vegetable oil. The set smells like a burnt salad. Glamour, baby.
