Assistant Runner/Stand in -May 2012
2. I was a stand in for an actor on the set of the BBC sitcom ‘In With the Flynn’s’ for a day.
Read lines
Do actions to prompt other actors
This was an amazing experience and taught me how life is on a real life set, how busy
everyone is and how many people are needed.
Then I was an assistant runner for the day the next week on the BBC set of sitcom ‘In
With the Flynn’s’.
Run round with the head runner doing jobs
Help all the cast and crew

This taught me how hard it is starting from the bottom but how much of a big
responsibility it is because you need to help everyone. I understand how it helps
get you into higher things.
