CHRISTINE Paterson described her work as a television extra at the April meeting.

She explained the various grades involved, according to whether there are spoken lines or not, and even the number of words makes a difference.

Ms Paterson said an extra needs a great deal of patience as they have to cope with, sometimes, hours of waiting around, but she said it brings its rewards and job satisfaction.
