Meet Hotten Crusty!

The author, entirerly comfortable doing a first-time Northern accent in front of cameras.
 
 I swear I didn't just come back on this blog to plug stuff, but back in December I was asked by Jamie Annett – the director of that episode of EastEnders I'd enjoyed being in so much - to take a day off from the Polar Express to come and film a lovely little scene opposite "Bob Hope" (played by Tony Audenshaw) in Emmerdale. That scene went out tonight, and the internet has gone WIIIIILD...
 
 
 Okay, that scene's not actually mine. Mine is fourteen and a half minutes into episode nine-thousand-and-five HERE. Personally speaking, I liked Bob. His child's just died, and when I ask him how the guitar playing's going he finds sweet relief in pretending they're still alive. Another really lovely scene then, and Tony was beautiful, and I remembered to hold my clipboard the right way round, and noone asked me to drive the van, and the rain held off, and once the scene was done we all had Christmas dinner at the top of the hill. Rock on.
