Bingo!

Next came a call, could I be part of a bingo commercial. No problem. Filming was in a studio in a very lovely part of Islington so I was more than happy to go. Breakfast was served beneath a beautiful painted window.

 Breakfast  was just cakes etc. However, there weren't too many of us so we were able to get to know those around us. There was an awful lot of waiting around and not much communicating so it wasn't too long before boredom set in. Luckily I was with a young lad and another lady who were in good form and Ian had no end of smutty jokes and innuendos!
Eventually we went into the studio and were told where to sit. The main actor would introduce the Bingo then other actors planted around would say phrases such as "I just won!" etc.
It took a while. The main actor, who by all accounts was doing brilliantly was constantly berated by the Director for not saying a line right - could he say it THIS way or THAT way? As the actor's nerves went up, his perspiration came down! All the way down the back of his shirt infact! It was also very hot in there and one lady next to me almost fainted. We had to shout Bingo! and raise our arms and cheer etc.
When the ad came out, everything had been blacked out except for the main actor so maybe that was a very expensive way of getting a commercial wrong!
