[QUOTE="Barbara Fan, post: 360028, member: 21"] Reading Nollys bio is really interesting [B]re Equity pay for Extras / day[/B] a walk on actor gets £6.00 if he is individually identified as a policeman or chauffeur he gets £11.00 If he has a scripted line he gets £16.00 They drink real champagne on the show - not fake stuff!! It gives character synopsis for writers This is part of it for Amy Turtle!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amy is an English peasant. Her vocabulary is less than that of basic English. In other times, she’d have been the first one out with her knitting needles to watch the guillotine at work. [B]And re Roger Tonge and his hair![/B] One of the problems we had with Roger was to get him to have his hair cut. Fashions have changed since then but at that time, when he was just a schoolboy, his long and untidy hair was quite out of keeping as Meg’s young son. After repeated requests Roger still hadn’t been to the hairdressers so Reg had a scene written into the script where Jane Rossington, playing my daughter, put Roger into a chair and the two of us went to work to tidy him up. ‘Don’t take too much off,’he pleaded‐and I promised we wouldn't. At rehearsals I just pretended to give him a haircut but on the actual recording I cut a tiny piece from the back of his head so that he really felt the scissors in action. Now unknown to our victim, Reg had given me a bunch of hair that matched Roger’s hair perfectly. I had this hidden behind his back and after that first snip I showed him the handful of hair. “You’re much better off without that lot, my lad,’ I told Roger spluttered and went white. He really thought I had cut off most of his hair but he carried through with the scene to the end and it wasn’t until he went to a mirror afterwards that he realized we had played a joke on him. Nevertheless, when he came to the studio the next morning, his hair was neatly trimmed. [/QUOTE]
