promising to be something of an experience. This will be a live event which takes place in London and will feature the main cast of The Third Day, including Law. In the final story, the

action will take place in winter and again consist of three episodes. This time the story will follow Helen (Naomie Harris), who visits the island and finds herself locked in a battle of

wills with the local residents. Some of the other locations said to be used the Ferry House Inn & Harty Ferry, Bedgebury National Pinetum Forest, Chiddingstone and Shellness Beach and

Huts. Essex Live reported Osea Island was another location used by the crew and is off the coast of Heybridge Basin. Much like in the show, the island is only accessible during low tide with

the water cutting it off.  The publication reports, the island has lots of private beaches and is secluded from traffic, light pollution and noise from aeroplanes. Actress Watson told the

outlet: “On a clear day with a sunny sky, it’s beautiful. There’s amazing birdlife. "But it’s got all these creepy hedge tunnels and it’s just got a sense that stuff has happened there;

it was a rehab place for a while.” She revealed there were times during filming when the cast and crew had to remain on the island between of the ebb and flow of the tide. The star said it

was akin to living at "a really kind of weird boarding school". _THE THIRD DAY PREMIERES ON HBO IN THE US TONIGHT AND SKY ATLANTIC TOMORROW IN THE UK AT 9PM_
