The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Re: dirty devilsPartario, your story about the dead Tasmanian Devil reminded me of a story I heard about the late Mark McManus, (he of Taggart fame.)
He started his acting career in Skippy, in the 1960s, and upon turning up for work on his first day, in the middle of nowhere, asked "where's Skippy?
A large tied up cloth bag moving around on the ground was pointed out to him...
Also, you remember the cute bit at the beginning, where Skippy makes a cuddly noise, and waves his paws around in front of him? The way they managed that was, some big bloody sod of an Aussie held him tightly, unseen from behind, whilst another crew member waved the paws of a dead kangaroo in front of Mr Kangaroo.
