Did you audition for Byker Grove?

How were auditions set out anyway, was it just some stick your name into a hat at some stall in the MetroCentre and you got a call back?

Sons were selected as extras via st Roberts, both hated it, said it was boring and just sitting around all day

No idea, but I used to play for South Shields junior sides and one of the lads left as he got a role in Byker Grove.

Our school provided extras for a few scenes, bit boring but got us out of classes for a few afternoons.

Aye, had a few auditions as I was in a drama school. Also auditioned for 999 ambulance it was a remake of some kids getting stuck in the coal slurry over Boldon. Had a few Catherine Cookson auditions, I was an extra in Byker Grove a fair few times.

 

[Lord Potts]

I once turned down the opportunity to play the lead in "Lassie Come Home".

 

[SAFC2403]

Was an extra for the episode they were skating at crowtree. Our drama teacher teacher organised it when we were at Farringdon.
