Audition for Casting kids for a new BBC2 comedy set in the West Country
We are casting for a BBC2 comedy set in the West Country and are looking for two young, talented, comedy actors, aged 8-10 years old.
This is a one hour comedy special being made for BBC2 and is set around a characterful yet loving family who live in the West Country. It is being filmed in London between 11 – 23 May 2015, with some rehearsal beforehand.
We are looking for two boys aged 8 – 10 years old who live in & around Bristol / Bath / Somerset / Wiltshire / Gloucestershire / Dorset. THEY MUST HAVE A WEST COUNTRY ACCENT. The accent is extremely important as the boys are part of a family and we want that family to be believably from the area. Please be aware there is some adult language in the script.
We will be holding auditions in Bristol on 30 & 31 March 2015.
