Jeremy Clarkson has begged fans to explain an ‘impossible’ moment in Netflix’s Adolescence – and was left stunned when a cast member revealed what really  happened during filming.

Each episode of Adolescence, which hit our screens on the streaming service on March 13, was filmed in just one continuous sH๏τ.

And the former Top Gear host, 64, took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share his confusion about how they managed to successfully capture a chase scene which at one point was filmed through a window.

Jeremy said: ‘Adolescence. The camera at the end of [episode] 2. How on earth did they do that? It’s impossible.’

Someone who claimed to appear on the show as an actor replied: ‘Hey Jeremy. Actor that worked on the show. 

‘It was indeed attached VERY carefully to a powerful drone. They only got the take in the bag on the final day.’

Each episode of Adolescence, which hit our screens on the streaming service on March 13, was incredibly filmed in just one continuous sH๏τ 

Jeremy replied: ‘Well congrats to you all. Masterful television.’ 

Meanwhile Bella Roberts, who also worked on the show, made a TikTok about how the scene worked.

Bella said: ‘I’m going to let you into a secret. The glᴀss isn’t real.

‘I’m sorry to break the reality here. But basically how they did it was the window wasn’t there when they filmed that sH๏τ.

‘The camera goes through the empty panel, and someone is there on the other side to grab it. There is also a crash mat there on the other side of the window in case the actor fell. Which was also painted out… 

‘They just VFX’d the window back in.’ 

Other eagle-eyed fans pointed out how they spotted a cameraman moments after. 

Viewers have loved finding out the behind-the-scenes intel on how they were able to do so successfully. 

And now it’s been revealed that a camera man can be seen at the end of the second episode in an aerial sH๏τ. 

A TiKTok user, @itsjustttjoy, took to her page to explain, after highlighting that The Guardian sat down with creators to spill the beans on it all. 

She explains: ‘You can see a camera operator in episode two.

Adolescence fans capture blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment Netflix crew member is caught in sH๏τ – but did you spot it?

The four-part Netflix series, which hit the streaming service on March 13, has received rave reviews for a number of reasons – including each episode being filmed in one take

This is the moment in episode two that TikToker @itsjustttjoy has pointed out 

‘So when Ashley Walters leaves the car they had a team coming up behind Matthew the cinematographer who clipped the camera to a drone.

‘They then flew that drone over the town and in the meantime Matthew the cinematographer legged into a van, drove to the end scene where we see Stephen Graham.

‘He catches the drone with two other people, disconnects it and starts walking towards Stephen’s face. Are you insane?

‘He had to literally be a split second accurate, if not the whole thing wouldn’t have worked.’

She continued: ‘If you watch it again you can see his car drive into the car park and you think “Oh it’s just a car”. 

‘Then you see the door open and of course, the drone is going faster when we saw the door open. 

‘We see enough of the door, and that’s actually Matthew’s van getting ready to get that camera, unclip it and then zoom into Stephen’s face.

‘Now we don’t necessarily see him, but we see [the vehicle]…’

She captioned the post: ‘Did you spot this camera man in #adolescence?’ 

Many rushed to the comments section to share their shock over the revelation.   

One wrote: ‘So interesting!!!’

Another added: ‘Love this.’

A confused third questioned: ‘The camera once went through a window, how did they do that?’ 

It’s also been revealed that the camera crew dressed in civilian dress to be able to be classed as extras.

Netflix confirmed: ‘During rehearsals the cast would also work through the choreography, allowing the DOP to plan the positions of the camera through the whole take, as well as the movements of the crew.

‘Sometimes it was necessary for some of the crew to remain in sH๏τ, in these instances they were dressed in costume so that they could blend into the show to serve as extras in the sH๏τ.’

Since airing earlier this month Netflix has revealed the secrets of Adolescence.

Adolescence has built on its huge success, topping Netflix’s English TV series list this week with a whopping 42 million views. 

Since its launch, the show has amᴀssed 66.3 million views, making it the most-watched limited series and most-watched UK тιтle ever through its first two weeks, with a huge 161,000,000 hours viewed.

Coming in at number two on the English TV list this week was The Residence, the latest series from Shondaland, while The Electric State maintained its hold on the number one slot on the English films list, with 22.5 million views.

Over the weekend Adolescence made British TV history, becoming the first streaming show ever to become the most-watched programme of the week.

The drama has captivated audiences and critics since it hit Netflix earlier this month, with each episode filmed in a single continuous take.

While the show is already being tipped for a string of BAFTA nominations, figures published by ratings body BARB on Sunday showed that the first episode was watched by 6.45 million people in its first week.

The number makes it the biggest audience for any streaming show in the UK in a single week, beating the 6.3 million who watched Fool Me Once on Netflix last year.

The four-episode programme follows the Miller family, whose lives are torn apart when their 13-year-old son Jamie is arrested for stabbing a female classmate to death after being influenced by online misogyny.

The show’s protagonist Jamie Miller is played by Owen Cooper in his acting debut, while his dad Eddie is played by Stephen Graham. 

Top Boy legend Ashley Walters took on the role of DI Luke Bascombe and Erin Doherty plays psychiatrist Briony Ariston. 

After his devastating performance as schoolboy Jamie, Owen is tipped for silver-screen success – and been compared to a young Leonardo DiCaprio.

Meanwhile, Stephen Graham, who co-wrote the script, has described finding Owen as the ‘biggest achievement’ of the four-part series.

Despite its huge success, Adolescence’s co-creator Jack Thorne has insisted he won’t be returning to Jamie’s story, telling The News Agents podcast:

‘I don’t think so and I don’t think Stephen [Graham] does either.’

‘I think that we’ve told the story that we wanted to tell. We would like to do another story with the one-sH๏τ template, perhaps, and we are thinking how we might be able to do that, with Phil Barantini, our brilliant director.’

‘But no, I don’t think it’s about what happens next to Jamie. I think we’ve told that as fully as we possibly can.’

All four episodes of Adolescence are available to stream on Netflix now.
