TV extra work fits alongside other self-employed work like design, delivery, photography, it suits students or for those who are retired and are looking for some additional income. No previous experience is necessary but from time to time people are asked to say a line. Being on set is a great experience, often extras are well looked after and food on set is often very good. We welcome people from minorities, broadcasters and production companies are keen to show people on screen from all walks of life. You need to be patient as there is lots of waiting around to be called, and discrete as often details of the productions are kept secret until the programme is broadcast.
For those considering a career in film or TV being a Film or TV extra is a good way to get an insight into what life on set is like.
