The Bones crew spent three weeks in England shooting a two part show where Brennen and Booth help Scotland yard solve the mystery of a body found floating on the River Thames, said David Boreanaz, who held the first press at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival on Tuesday. He said filming took place in London and Oxford, where Brennan was invited to give a speech.

Boreanaz hinted that while it is unlikely that Booth and Brennen will move past the kiss they shared in season 3, they may become physical in some upcomming fantasy scenes. “Obviously this is the fourth season and we have to put the characters in a position where they can become physical,” he said. “Season four will be a bit fantasy driven; it will be a bit film noir. We are going to stretch the boundaries of the characters and there will be some female characters introduced who will cause some friction.”

Boreanaz said he plans to direct at least one episode and hopes the road trips continue past London. “Taking them to different locations is something I would love to see. I enjoyed putting Booth in the middle of English humor and seeing what happened. I would love for them to go to Japan,” he said.

The quirkiness of the character and the fact that Booth continues to develop motivates Boreanaz. “I have a lot of fun with the character, I enjoy being him and I am always working on progressing the character. DNA scenes and science bores me. For me it is always about relationship driven characters and stretching the characters.”

He brings a lot of life experience to Booth, including a mutual taste for interesting socks and props he finds in his real life.

The proud father of a six year old son, he stays fit by playing ice hockey and mountian biking. Boreanaz said that for him, the key to success is happiness. “Where do I expect to be in 10 years? The same place I expected to be 10 years ago — content and happy. If you are content and happy then things are right.”
