Kingdom shoot 4th April

I had agreed to be a driver, runner and an extra on the Kingdom shoot at Tim’s family home in Welbury. The day started well with everybody meeting up early at Middlesbrough train station and finding their way successfully out into the sticks to Tim’s house, without anybody getting lost.

It was a long day as once the initial driving was over (and A LOT of bicycles had been moved) there was little for me and Kyle to do, who was also an extra in the barn scene.

When our time arrived to perform we were given little preparation and as we were not party to the rehearsals conducted in the studio were not aware of what to expect from the other actors and the action in the shot.
Garry Davison and Eilidh Talman played a blinder as whilst Kyle and I were wondering what happens next Garry who had been stood with us all day ran past us dragging Eilidh who was on the floor by her hair out of the building. It was the first time we had seen him move, we both looked at each other like we should run to her rescue. They were very effective.

To Jodie’s credit whilst driving Garry back to Middlesbrough he said that it was the most professional shoot that he had been on and the first time that he had received a production pack.

I'm glad I was following Darren, I think my Satnav would have got lost.
