Set off to the train station, with the weather humid but overcast, got to St Albans mainline train station & got the fast train to Kings Cross, all was going well ahead of schedule & I should arrive with time to spare!! EXCELLENT!!
But No!!!..... I get to the Hammersmith line only to find it is closed for maintenance over the weekend, Bloody typical, always on a soddin weekend!!.... why cant they work on the lines week days & weekends from 12midnight until 7am while the tubes are shut at night!!!
I discovered I'd have to get a 205 to Bow from outside the station "bollocks" I thought "how long is this going to take??" I went to text film director Andy but I was out of credit "bollocks" again!! so I topped up by £5 at the news paper kiosk, by the bus stop & I went to text Andy again & just as I was sending my battery went & the phone went dead!!.... BRILLIANT!!!! (my mobile died, on the day before my brothers son Alex's christening, when it was on vibrate on the chair arm & it dived bombed off the chair arm into a glass of water, when I was distracted from my phone, so my BFF Candy's 9yr old son Xavier gave me his spare phone to use until I get a new one, but I had no charger to re charge & I had to leave it on last night as I needed the alarm on it as I don't own an alarm clock!!) cant sleep through the noise of a ticking watch let alone a ticking alarm clock.
The 205 didn't arrive until 45mins later arghhhhhhhhhh!! if they are trying to get hold of me, to find out where I am, my phones dead I thought, Got the bus & said to the driver to drop me at the Mile End Hospital stop, as I knew it was on Bancroft Rd, which was right by Moody St, I figured it would be the stop immediately after Stepney Green Tube Station. But he said it was 4-5 stops after it, & who was I to argue & when he said "this is the stop!" he then pointed to hospital my heart fell, it was St Catherines Hospital or something similar.... oh FFS!!!! so I had to get another bus in the opposite direction to go 5 stops back & eventually got to venue 30mins late
Luckily they were all running late & I was told by Director Andy to go to a near by pub to get Zombied up!!.....
I ran into the Sky1 Showbiz film crew at the pub & the filmed my arrival, and interviewed me about how I felt it would go, then I ran into Nerissa in the beer garden & we had a chat & took some pics, while we waited for our makeover, we didn't bring any skanky clothes as we had not been told we had to, by anybody & so we assumed they would be provided, so a runner from the Showbiz Camera Crew got us a couple of cheap tops from the market to tear & put dirt & blood over, she got 2 red ones, probably not the most inspired colour choice to get, as it wont show up the blood, like white or other colours (other than black) would!
Nerissa & I
Dead Handsome!!

Filming For Showbiz Sky1 begins
While waiting for all the Zombies to be made up I had a Cider in the bar & a cute blonde guy in early 30's called Danny (a Black Cab Taxi Driver) who started hitting on me, which I found odd, as I looked minging & he kept going on what sensual lips I had & what beautiful eyes (you see can see from the pics when on here that he obviously needed to go to Specsavers) next thing I knew, he was planting a big kiss on my lips (the blood off my face going onto his upper lip making him look like he'd cut himself shaving) & he slipped me his phone number. Then it was time for a few cast shots, & then the Showbiz crew interviewed me again (above) & at 3pm filming began.

I was mostly attacking one main character & then on the front of a car trying to get in to its inhabitants, then being shot & falling off car onto tarmac that was covered in grit & glass, in spots on ground that stuck to my arms & dug in my butt (you can't say I don't suffer for my art!!) we finished filming around 6.30pm & Nerissa & I went back to the pub, for a well needed pee & headed home still covered in blood looking vile (Danny the Black Cab Driver no longer around, so no hope of a lift) typical unreliable Cassanova lol
Got the 205 bus with odd looks from the other passengers & then the train from Kings Cross to St Albans & got more of the same, walking home from the station two separate cars stopped & the inhabitants rushed over to see if I was OK, about 5mins apart, I had to explain I had been in a Horror Movie, the make-up was obviously convincing!!!
Who in their right mind would chat up this?
OUCH!!!!!!
My bruising (pic taken 4 days later when fadded a bit!!)
