    I can recommend casting collective , only been signed up for a few weeks , no fee to sign up , 2 job offers in the last week which unfortunately I'm not available to do but looks promising.

    Worth 20 minutes of your time to do some photos and take some personal measurements

    Casting Collective is who I used too. It was for a one-off job in my local town. I'm not a paid member but get the odd job offer when they can't fill spaces. I found them quite easy to deal with.
  • I am registered with four agencies and have received work for Poldark, Delicious and next year's Netflix film, 'The King'. However, does anyone know which agency supplies Doctor Who please? When I was a primary head teacher, before my recent retirement, I converted my office into a Tardis, to make the Head's Office more child - friendly. The children's parents also made me a full - scale Dalek, whom I could climb into and go around the school with the modulated voice, "You will be ed - u - cated!" Many thanks.

    I think Phoenix Casting in Bristol may be able to help you. Because I'm a new poster, the site isn't allowing me to post links, but Google them and you should be able to get the info you need.


    You sound a wonderfully progressive and enlightened head teacher. :o)


    Good luck!

  • Does anyone know of any extra work near Guildford in Surrey? I've only done 1 shoot for a pilot TV programme but really enjoyed taking part.

    TIA

    Have done this for a while in Scotland. Work is few and far between. Have done three feature films and a number of tv episodes. Also did a very off Dutch film for which we were paid well, treated badly and probably will never see. Did one BBC thing last year where my experience of nursing gained an extra £50 ont top of normal rate. Have seen the program, all that is seen is my hand putting a mask on a patient in an ambulance.


    You'll never get rich, its long and boring most of the time with short bursts of excitement.
