Do watch out for the 13th episode of Lovejoy. It's partly real. This actor (to protect my arse, I'm not naming him or stating which series) couldn't pass an hour without a sip of something alcoholic.
Since he wasn't allowed to move from his spot, he filled his prop cup of cold tea with something alcoholic. This allowed him to sip away while waiting for someone to finish sorting out sound or framing or whatever.
In that particular 13th episode, there were several technical problems, which meant he drank and refilled his 'cuppa' rather heavily while waiting each time. I don't know how he managed to make himself sound sober, but he pulled it off. At the end of shooting, he literally staggered towards a waiting van for his trip back to hotel. He was so drunk that he claimed he for a moment couldn't remember where he was when he woke up next day.




gutted.


I am always asking you for them back...
