  3. 'Debbie does Dallas' or was it 'Doris does Dagenham'? I offered to hold the lights for free and they told me to 'bugger off' think that meant go away!

  9. I have done it
    I will be doing more when I retire work gets in the way.
    The pay can be good but it’s long hours so more of a hobby for me and I have met some interesting people along the way
    It’s exactly like the sitcom extras

  12. How about putting your house up as a location for a shoot of some sort. Doesn’t have to be posh.

  13. keep an eye on twitter for production companies wanting extras, they host local open auditions so no need for an agency. there's always extras wanted round here as there's a lot of places they use for locations.
    done it and know lots who do but not as a regular income.
