Being an "extra" sounded fun when i was younger. Being paid to both do nothing AND be filmed as an "Easter egg" in TV. For someone as lazy as me that was a dream come true. So when the reality came I recruited my older brother's friend Alex and we met at the meeting point in suitably wintery clothing. I was suprised at how quickly he took control of the situation, asking the right questions and getting sorted much quicker than i could have.
We bumped into a blonde girl in a smart coat and began chatting. She was taking maths at uni and i think Alex may have been flirting a little. The camera crew consisted of a young researcher girl who i mistook for a director and a slightly older guy who was the camera man.
After a short wait a crowd of students including a discount seth green, a guy who looked like belonged on the breakfast club and a cute brunette chick who i found out had a mild dr who obsession (which we discussed at length.)
After over half an hour of walking a certain way and admiring the suitcases of the breakfast club guy we settled and began chatting, everyone seemed calm and in the same boat, genuinely willing to have a laugh. We sort of became friends due to being close in age and having literally nothing else to do other than chat and play on our phones.
They were all awesome to hang out with and i felt that everyone had a good time at the end.
