What was said

"They didn't have a [ __ ] clue until I said, "Listen, I'm filming something. I just need you to be in the back.""

Trewley Precious says her brothers and wider family did not initially understand she was making a TV programme, and that she presented it as ‘filming something’ to avoid them panicking. She frames it as a practical way to get natural interactions on camera with relatives she describes as private.
