How the Normal People/Fleabag mashup was filmed remotely

The Hollywood Reporter

Turns out only the first part of the "Normal People Confessions" sketch made for RTÉ Comic Relief was posted to YouTube by Hulu. A second part, featuring Tracy Chapman’s “Baby Can I Hold You," isn't available in the U.S. due to music rights issues. That's according to Normal People executive producer Lenny Abramson, who directed the cast in London virtually from Ireland. The Normal People/Fleabag mashup saw Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones reprising their Connell and Marianne in confession with Fleabag "Hot Priest" Andrew Scott. "The idea was to write something that could be shot in a relatively straightforward way," says Abramson.
