How can I apply to be an extra on a BBC programme?

When producers require extras and walk-ons for a production they approach one of the many specialist agencies and may also advertise in the local press.

We can't recommend any specific companies but suggest you use industry publications for advice e.g. the one published by Spotlight at www.spotlightcd.com*.
