Everything on the set is new except for the customary SVP desk props helmets and a baseball bat and his favorite desk chair, all of which were moved from Bristol. Of course, COVID-related health and safety restrictions complicated matters, forcing the teams to manage the project remotely and mitigate onsite issues that traditionally would have been handled from afar.
