What’s 50 years between friends?
Peterborough Today has a report from an extra in P&P3.
He said: “It was really strange going from working on the road to walking around a huge set dressed as a Victorian market trader.
“In one of the scenes, Keira Knightley is standing just in front of my stall, so I should be in quite a few clips of the film.
“I also spoke quite a bit to both of them, and found them to be really nice people.
“They were always asking how I was, and made me and the rest of the extras feel like part of the team.
“It was a fantastic experience.”
Apparently there was no historical training involved; otherwise we dare say they would have known that in 1796, when the film was set, Queen Victoria wasn’t even a gleam in the Duke of Kent’s eye and therefore they should not describe their characters as “Victorian.”
