Jambusters, a book by Julie Summers, has been the inspiration
for an ITV drama to be screened around spring this year and will
be called Homefires. A friend of my wife's passed on a
recruiting leaflet from Boss Casting
which mentioned that location filming was going to be based
around the Bunbury area of Cheshire; an area we know quite well,
in fact I used to live at nearby Spurstow. Well we decided to
apply and we were both accepted!
It was a very interesting experience and gave quite an insight into how the sets were made up and managed. Some days were an early start and though long, seemed to whizz by as we were kept fairly busy. This particular production's rate of pay wasn't brilliant but I more did it more out of curiosity really and enjoyed it very much, so much so that I just might do something similar again.
