Hi,
Here is a new interview of Paul McGillion conducted in december.

The audio file is also available.
Excerpt:
TSW: Are you shooting several episodes at the same time? Like they do it with Stargate SG-1?
Paul McGillion: At the start of the season no, but toward the end of the season, they miss days so sometimes you pick up. There’s a call to do, maybe 3 episodes at once. So one day I could shoot a scene from an episode we shot a month and a half ago that we didn’t finish and it just so happens that myself and Joe Flannigan are together that day and we need to get a scene finished, so we’ll have to go back and shoot that scene while we’re shooting this episode and toward the end of the season it kind of crunches times for budgetary reasons. Traditionally speaking they try to keep it on a 7 day schedule and try to keep it 12 hour days, because I think John Smith’s motto is that we want you to have a life at the same time which is good. Maybe Fridays are a little longer because they have to make sure they get their week, but usually speaking its all 12 hour days which is good for film and TV. Especially for TV.
