Colin Ferguson Talks Upcoming Eureka Holiday Special!
Dec.02, 2010
... Do you have a favorite episode or storyline of Eureka?
Colin Ferguson: There’s a bunch that sort of stand out as sort of watershed moments for us, and it’s usually personal stuff. Like in the first season there was a little episode called “The Games People Play,” because that was written by a friend of mine and so that was amazing.
Alexandra La Roche, who directed “Up in the Air” this year – it’s in the back ten. It won’t air till next summer. That one is the episode that explains the poster and that was her first step as sort of the director. She’s been our script supervisor since the first season. So she’s been our script supervisor for four years and has been instrumental in holding the show together. And when someone from the inside gets a leg up and gets that chance and then knocks it out of the park like you knew they would, that’s sort of really special for us because you sort of feel like, we’re all grown up. And it sort of reminds you that you’re all a team sort of pushing to do stuff that you’ve never done before.
So that was amazing from this year, that one for us. And I probably would say the Christmas episode because I really like working with Matt Frewer and I don’t get to do that a lot.
And it was – Matt Hastings, the director – good, good friend of mine. It was the end of the first season. We shot it as Episode 10 – 4 10, so at the end of the first ten we had no money left because we had done such big stuff on the first nine that we did. So we had six days to do it. It was a run and gun. It was hilariously chaotic and he just knocked it out of the park. It’s really, really funny. So probably those two from this year stand out for me.
