G-Love and Special Sauce?

Yep. The scene involved them playing to an enraptured crowd while a secondary character from the movie, dressed in a whale suit, did a stage dive into them. At one point a woman ran on stage and flapped her boobs about. I have no idea how this scene was meant to have fitted into a taught, up against the clock thriller.

Sounds like a Truman show style scene where you were the only none actor.

I always suspected the world revolved around my every move.

I often fear that when I'm doing things I shouldn't be doing.

For many years I suspected not just that the world was an elaborate practical joke staged fro my benefit but that everyone else could read my thoughts. I used to think alarming things at people to see if I could get a reaction out of them.

It's boring sitting around doing nothing waiting for the 2 minutes I can make a snarky response to one of your posts.

Still the 25 years of David Bussell awareness training were most enjoyable.

I did extras work once or twice.
At the Brit awards with the Spice Girls when Geri wore the Union Jack Dress,
On Trigger Happy TV although I don't think they used the stuff in the end
An advert for Dry Blackthorne Cider
And on some show with Craig Charles called the Funky Bunker.

They were all quite fun, but with a lot of just sitting & waiting around.
