An opportunity to visit a stately home for free, taste the company's products, play the part of a snobbish butler, work with a professional stage actor, plus, a talented crew and still get paid a very good daily sum.

It's also one of those occasions, when going to all those auditions and castings finally pays off.

No matter how much we might complain about them; the simple fact is, "you have to be in it, to win it".

They're time consuming, consist of a couple of minutes of polaroid snaps; and, invariably, there are a lot of others up for the same part. But, if you get the role, the feeling that you get is definitely worth the effort.
