Plot: Bring the Drama is the new six-part series from BBC Arts and
Wall to Wall Media for BBC Two and iPlayer opening up the world of screen
drama to eight people who have always dreamt of becoming professional actors
but have never had the opportunity.Hosted by actor and comedian Bill Bailey
the eight aspiring actors are mentored over six weeks by renowned casting
director Kelly Valentine Hendry, who has cast shows including Bridgerton
Gangs of London, Ghosts and Broadchurch. In each episode, the aspiring
actors are welcomed onto some of the real-life sets from celebrated UK
dramas such as Peaky Blinders, EastEnders and Silent Witness and tasked with
working together to recreate iconic scenes with the real scripts, real
cameras and the real time pressures that professional actors face. As they
gain experience in different forms of screen acting they are given advice
and guidance from a host of established actors including Natalie Cassidy
(EastEnders); Genesis Lynea (Silent Witness, Champion); Charles Venn
(Casualty, Dream Team); Ed Speelers (Downton Abbey, You) and Rochenda
Sandall (Line of Duty, The Rig), as well as working with industry experts
from the Peaky Blinders fight co-ordinator to the intimacy co-ordinator from
Sex Education.As the eight discover, the job of a screen actor is far from
easy - and each production provides new challenges and opportunities for the
actors to learn and find out whether they have the talent and skills needed
to take the next step into the professional industry. At the end of the
intense learning process, casting director Kelly selects three actors she
feels are industry-ready to present their showreel at a major industry
showcase for the chance to secure representation from a leading agent
