“Whatever we can do to help people appreciate that is no bad thing. Let’s level up.”
The sequence will probably be streamed worldwide on Disney+ and Sharp stated it contained each world and native messages about pulling collectively within the face of adversity.
“I think that’s the way everybody feels, so the show, as well as being very local, very UK based, has an imperative that’s actually about the way a lot of people feel, no matter where they live and who they are,” he instructed PA.
