Tonight at 21.00, as a special treat, ITV is broadcasting a modern adaptation of what some may call a classic novel.<\/p>\n
Vanity Fair.<\/p>\n
And I’m in it.<\/p>\n
Well…<\/p>\n
When I say I’m in it I mean I was an extra in the film.<\/p>\n
I exchanged greetings with Rhys Ifans, watched Jim Broadbent work his way in a most studious manner through the Daily Telegraph – when he wasn’t stomping around in character and shouting “Sirrah” in a manner calculated to startle the horses.<\/p>\n
Romola Garai – I saw her too.<\/p>\n
And Reese Witherspoon.<\/p>\n
But I did much, much, much, much standing around on set in makeup and costume.<\/p>\n
Jim Broadbent had the right idea with the Daily Telegraph.<\/p>\n
He also had his own chair.<\/p>\n
We had to stand around and lean on things.<\/p>\n
A bit like I’m doing in the new header of this blog.<\/p>\n
Yep, that’s me.<\/p>\n
Anyway…<\/p>\n
I don’t know if my scenes even made it off the cutting room floor.<\/p>\n
I don’t know because I haven’t actually seen the film yet.<\/p>\n
I might not even see it tonight, it’s competing with Top Gear Night which may or may not be followed by me grabbing that bottle off the worktop and taking a couple of sandwiches to bed and having an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (or Buffy, the Slayer of Vampyres – as Andrew – one of the cast – would put it).<\/p>\n
Woo!<\/p>\n
Rock’n’roll!<\/p>\n
