...Part Five...

Emma & I dropped off the drip & went in search of Marlborough Lights & Drum
tobacco. Emma had the good idea of getting tissues for the funeral too. We
made it back just as the band were arriving. Who were duly impressed that
I'd gotten a drip.
I just had time to get my tart red lipstick on, Emma's black glasses,
leather gloves, cardigan & the widow's hat on. On getting all the mourners
into position, it appeared that I don't actually have a reflection, they
couldn't see me in the monitor! Actually I'm just short!! Mark calling me
Jackie O, & the rest calling me the Merry Widow, we got ready with hankies &
chewing gum (!) & the shoot began again. Lots of hanging around on this one.
Back to being wardrobe mistresses, Emma & I dressed Woody & Mike in their
choir boy costumes, there's a fantasy come true for you Emma :o)
Woody had to go to do an interview on Phil Jupitus show on GLR.
Then eventually the final Church shots of the mourners, all to weep & be
terribly sad, Emma & I in the front pew, Cathal came up 'Can I sit between
you two ladies?' we refuse to make comment now! But sit between us he did,
complete with tears, his sobbing had us in fits & no chance of a serious
expression, we all pulled ourselves together, Mike stood behind the camera
directing us on our expressions, Cathal weeping, I had to stifle giggles in
my tissue, until Suggs did a loud comical nose blow, which finished us all
off!
The final location was the bunker at the back of Denyer House on Highgate
Rd, Claire, Graham & Emma in my car, fighting traffic & listening to Woody
on the radio. We got to Highgate Rd & parked next to the Southampton Arms,
where we were able to wait out of the cold until they were ready for
filming.
Neither Emma or I had eaten at all, Claire told us there was a decent
sandwich shop almost next door, so we popped off to eat. Mike Barson had
gotten there ahead of us, 'What car are you driving?' he asked me, I told
him, 'Can you get a drum kit in it?' Well its not something I've ever tried
before, but sure I didn't see why not. We ordered & sat down, Mike served us
while he made some phone calls, but Woody was lost, incommunicado, so the
drums wouldn't be needed.
Feeling much better, we went back to the pub, I rubbed off that awful red
lipstick & felt much better, just sat down with my drink, when Kevin popped
his head round the door, 'Adele, they want you' 'What for?' I asked, feeling
a trifle anxious, 'They just do' he replied with a sheepish, but somewhat
amused grin. I followed dutifully, begging for a clue, 'its for the next
scene' was all he'd say, 'but what scene?' I pleaded, as we walked in
through the door he replied,'the massage scene', before I could speak he
took off!
