That's how things played out for co-leads Izuka Hoyle (Big Boys) and Tahar Rahim (The Serpent) as they filmed Prisoner, Sky's latest thriller series that comes from Hostage writer Matt Charman.
When chatting exclusively with Radio Times, Hoyle revealed: "Definitely, it added another level of challenge, but also like intimacy – and quick, right? Because Tahar and I, we met at stunt rehearsals. We didn't have an introduction before that so we literally said hello to each other and then we were cuffed.
"But luckily, we really, really get on. And you know, I think it shows in the chemistry between the characters because we built such an organic and real chemistry between each other. It was a challenge but it was fun, right? So fun."
"So, handcuff those two together, but give them the same objective, put them through their paces - how quickly does her opinion change about morality? How quickly does his opinion change, especially because he's a sociopath, and how quickly does it change their opinions of each other and therefore the world? So, the handcuffs were a root and a real aid in being able to kind of explore all of that."

Speaking to Sky in a press pack for the series, Rahim commented on the filming experience of being cuffed together with his co-star, saying: "Being handcuffed during big stunt sequences made things more complex. Our stunt team was brilliant and inventive, open to ideas and incredibly collaborative.
"Being handcuffed to someone for four months filming could easily be a nightmare, but Izuka is a beautiful soul. We got on incredibly well and became real friends. She’s my partner in crime. It was a pleasure."
The new series follows Amber (Hoyle) as a determined prisoner officer who's returned from her maternity leave to quite the turn of events. When she's tasked with escorting skilled contract killer Tibor (Rahim) to court, they're unaware of the fact that they're also being targeted by sinister forces and are subsequently ambushed. As the sole survivors, they must band together to get to safety, but their sense of right and wrong soon starts to waver as they do all they can to ensure their safety.
