This Crucial 3 Body Problem Scene Was Only Added At The Very Last Minute
The cast of Netflix's 3 Body ProblemThe sci-fi series 3 Body Problem has soared up the Netflix UK most-watched list since its release last week.But the new show from Game Of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss was actually ready to arrive on Netflix back in the middle of 2023 – aside from one last-minute addition.The adaptation of Chinese novel The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin follows a group of scientists who join forces with a detective to save humanity, after an astrophysicist’s decision during the Chinese Cultural Revolution in the 1960s has long-lasting consequences. But according to the showrunners, their first iteration of episode one was missing some details that would have subsequently left viewers a little too in the dark.According to The Hollywood Reporter, they came up with a new scene to be inserted right near the beginning to help better establish the plot.The five-minute scene shows Auggie (Eiza González) and Jin (Jess Hong) drinking in a bar, which gives the characters a chance to discuss their careers and the broken state of science, while also giving a sense of their relationship statuses.Eiza González as Auggie Salazar and Jess Hong as Jin Cheng in episode four of 3 Body ProblemIn this sequence, they also find out about Vera’s suicide and Auggie’s countdown clock begins.If the scene weren’t included, it would have only shown the Oxford Five gathering for the funeral with Auggie already seeing her countdown.The showrunners explained that the Hollywood strikes were the reason it took so long to get the extra scene shot.“We got the scene written the day before the strike,” Dan Weiss recalled.“It was literally five pages, but we really thought it was worth doing.“Netflix was great about it. It would have been very easy for them to be like, ’You have a finished show that is ready to air, for us to hold that [for a scene that’s] five minutes of two people in a bar…that it took some fortitude for them to just say, ‘Yeah.’”Alexander Woo, D.B. Weiss and David Benioff at the premiere of 3 Body ProblemNetflix’s head of scripted series Peter Friedlander added: “I want to tell the best version of this story, and if there’s a critical moment that the producers want to capture and we have the time and resources to do it, I want to figure it out with them.”He added: “They were total professionals, total collaborators and very clear what their vision is. I don’t want the audiences to miss out on that. So it was not a hard decision for me.”3 Body Problem is currently at number two in Netflix UK’s most watched TV shows, behind Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen.MORE NETFLIX:Gillian Anderson Recalls Chance Encounter With Emily Maitlis Ahead Of Playing Her In Netflix FilmNetflix Released One Day Bloopers To Mend Our Shattered Hearts And They're WorkingThe Haunting Of Hill House's Creator Just Confirmed A Fan's TikTok Theory

The experts: perfumers on 20 ways to make you, your house and your laundry smell fabulous
From picking a perfect fragrance to spraying your radiators and getting rid of the worst stinks, here is how to make sure your life always smells sweetFrom a fancy fragrance to a simple bowl of oranges, scent can transform how you feel about yourself, another person or a place. But how can you work out what suits the moment? And the best way to get rid of a stink? Perfumers reveal how to make your world smell fantastic.1. Smell is an extreme sensation“Scent provokes a visceral reaction,” says Ezra-Lloyd Jackson, a perfumer and artist who makes wearable fragrances under the brand name deya and creates scent installations for art exhibitions. What fascinates him about working with scent is the process of transforming “something that is grotesque or alarming into something that is familiar and comforting, or vice versa”.2. Your reaction to a smell is linked to memoryMaya Njie makes perfumes inspired by her Swedish and Gambian heritage. She tried to capture this feeling in other artistic forms before realising that what she really wanted was to portray the way it smelled. “We know that our sense of smell is directly linked to the part of the brain where our memories are stored,” she says. “So it makes a lot of sense that fragrance and smells are connected to our memories. If you smell something that someone has worn, or you go to a house that belongs to your grandparents, smelling makes you feel way more emotional than a photo ever could.” Jackson describes this as “internal time travel. It is another form of communication that isn’t linguistic.”3. It is possible to train your nose“That is what perfume is all about,” says Jackson. He didn’t have a very orthodox route into perfumery: “I went straight into a laboratory and got to work, but most people will train at one of the schools in France, where the first year is all about learning 500 smells.” Brighton-based French perfumer Elodie Durande, who works for Somerset label Ffern, honed her craft at the University of Montpellier. “You start out by working on your olfactory skills, remembering smells and describing smells,” before receiving a wide-ranging education about the perfume industry, she says.
