Behind the scenes at 22 Minutes

Arts reporter Tara Bradbury spent three days on the set of CBC TV's "22 Minutes" last month. From the first read-through of scripts to hair and makeup to outtakes during filming, she was given an all-access backstage pass during the filming of the show's hour-long Christmas special, to air Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. NL time. Here are some photos from the visit. — Photos by Tara Bradbury/The Telegram
