We worked with this great intimacy coordinator called David Thackeray. He really knows how to work with actors to create these really intimate, really sort of natural, comfortable environments, and genuine sort of intimacy scenes.

He made an environment where the actors were excited to get it right. So it wasn't just about predicting problems that might arise. It was about going into the scene with a professional objective, taking everyone's responses and creativity into account when filming it.

Director Euros Lyn praised Heartstopper's "fantastic" intimacy coordinator David Thackeray, who handled each and every kiss differently.”
Euros Lyn - Radio Times
"He's gentle and he's incredibly calm and he's very methodical," began Lyn. "He approaches each kiss by breaking it down, and by asking questions about the drama; what sort of kiss is it? Is it a tender kiss? Is it a playful kiss? Is it a passionate kiss? Where does this come in the arc of the relationship?
