Emmedale - 24th November 2016

I was in Leeds again , just over a year ago to be in another episode of "Emmerdale". I really enjoy travelling up to Leeds to be involved in that programme. At the moment that is one of the regular bookings I get, along with "Midsomer Murders", but I have;t done "Midsomer" since 21st July 2016, or "Emmerdale" since 26th June 2017.

MIDSOMER MURDERS

On Tuesday 21st July , last week, I was in my third episode of Midsomer Murders.
My first date was on 28th May 2012, in an episode about a murder that took place during an eclipse of the sun starring Maureen Lipman.
My second was on 1st July 2014, last year, when I was in an episode about a magical trick in a church going wrong and a capsule crashing into and killing a female church organist.
My involvement last week was filmed in the setting of a meeting in a village hall, the details of which I am unable to mention yet, because the episode is not due to be screened until the summer of next year, but it is featuring Denis Lill and Cherie Lunghiamong others and has a very interesting storyline.

Following the inclusion of my song " My Home Town " in the Kettering Gang Show, the fourth of my compositions to be performed in public. I am offering one of my comedy songs to any comedian who is looking for an original song to add to his/her repertoire.

"CASUALTY" season 12 episode 23

My only previous guest appearance on Television can be found recorded on IMDb as Boxing M.C. and Referee on "Casualty" Series 12, episode 23, "Taking sides", which was recorded on 11th December 1997 and screened on 7th February 1998.
I was asked to give my dialogue in a "rougher voice" than my natural "rather sedate" tones, so I adopted a Glaswegian accent for the part.
I have now made the decision to put myself forward for any small roles that may arise and  hope that I may be given the opportunity to work more closely with some of the very talented Actors that are working on Film and Television programmes these days.

STEPPING INTO THE FOREGROUND

After 30 years as a "Background Artiste" Bobby Civil will be aiming to step into the foreground very shortly and attempt to obtain minor roles in Film and Television Productions.
