Dagenham Girls

The other day I played the part of a West Ham supporter in a film set in 1968 called Dagenham Girls (although on imdb it appears to be called We Want Sex), directed by Nigel Cole who did Calender Girls.

Film being the way it is, with seemingly infinate numbers of takes at different angles,  the other supporters and I were on set for about 10 hours to complete 2 scenes. We had a great laugh though, and there are some very familar actors and actresses in the film, one of which was kind of freaking me out as he got into character before each take by ranting to himself mere feet from where I was standing.

Anyway, I pray that some editor doesn’t watch it back and say something like No, that ginger wig looks ridiculous. Cut him out.
