Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press ahead of the new run \u2013 which starts on ITV tonight (Sunday 7th August) \u2013 Warren detailed a tense moment during filming when he and co-star Maimie McCoy<\/a> found themselves getting pulled over by officers.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the last episode [we shot], Maimie and I had to drive through Dam Square at its most packed in the Cherokee and we were wearing bulletproof vests,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think we had our guns on us but we had the flashing lights going on, and somebody had not told the local police that we were doing that and we got pulled over and I suddenly thought, \u2018Christ, if we\u2019ve got guns on us as well, we\u2019re going to be in a lot of trouble.\u2019<\/p>\n Thankfully, the pair managed to escape from the situation with nothing more than an interesting anecdote \u2013 but according to Warren, the incident was especially tense for him as a result of something he\u2019d witnessed earlier the same day.<\/p>\n \u201cLiterally just before we shot that scene, I was sitting in my dressing room out on location and out the window I saw a guy running down the street and next thing a police car screeched to a halt,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd the guy ran across the street and then the officer got his gun out, and I\u2019d never seen that before. I\u2019d never seen anybody pull a gun on somebody before, so it was sort of weird considering. But I think what was interesting was that, having never witnessed that before, it seemed very normal because we spend all day doing that [in this show]. And here was the reality of it.<\/p> Funnily enough, this wasn\u2019t the first time Warren had had a run-in with law enforcement while working on a TV drama \u2013 a similar incident happened while he was working on the Sky series Mad Dogs a few years ago.<\/p>\n \u201cI remember being in Cape Town doing Mad Dogs and we had a gun in the car,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd because often people don\u2019t know that you\u2019re being filmed, the camera might be a long way away, we got pulled over then, and you don\u2019t want to be pulled over with a gun in your car, so it was hid very rapidly.\u201d<\/p>\n Additional reporting by Flora Carr.<\/em><\/p>\n Van der Valk season 2 will air from Sunday 7th August at 8pm on ITV.
