what does "Talk about cutting the tension with a knife,"mean?
“Hi,” she said, in a normal voice. “God. Talk about cutting the tension with a knife, eh? Guy’s always a perfectionist, but this is his first proper shoot since Lula died, so he’s, you know, seriously uptight.”

We use "Talk about _____!" in colloquial speech to roughly mean "That's a perfect example of ____!"
The idea of cutting tension with a knife means that the tension in the air "was so thick that you could cut it with a knife". The situation was so tense that you could physically feel it.
