Yesterday we had an organizational day with Helen, clearing up what we had to do and plans for the week. We also went through our timetable setting deadlines.
After this we did some research.
Will and I posted casting calls. Will already has an account with mandy.com and I already had one with Castingcallpro so we each made a post.
Will instantly got feedback and I have had 6 responses since yesterday afternoon. All suitable but all for the barmaid role.
Casey and I met up last night to go to the Dog and Gun. Casey had spoken to Leslie?! (think that's her name) the day before about attending the Music Quiz they were having on tuesday. When we got there we went straight to her and she said she had a team in mind so took us over to them. They were already in full swing with the quiz so we chatted with Ant Payne in between rounds. They were serious about the quiz, refusing clues. It would be Ant, Russell and Paul.
Through chatting with him and being introduced to the 2 others that would make up the team for The Pub Game, we discovered they know Geoff at the studios and Kelly, the brunette receptionist! They had also been stand ins on The Door which they didn't enjoy because they were barely used.
Ant Payne also spent a year working there.
We also discovered that Ant has television experience and has done stand up and radio. He was on a show called Blast Off, on Children in Need.
Did radio on CTR (now KMFM). Recently interviewed Greg Davis at the Chortle Awards plus others.
He would like to be considered for the host role but otherwise a team member with Russell and Paul who are equally decent characters. He has contacts for other potential team members and also said something about Tim Vine!?
