I've been out of work except small bits for 6 months (the US strikes had a huge knock on effect on the UK industry) and suddenly on one day last week I had two separate work calls and an availability check email. Had to do the awkward thing where you tell the less desirable show to hold off until you know if the better show is gonna hire you.

Fortunately being up front with everyone is the best policy really, they all said they'd do the same. Start a new show next week and all the stories about its first season were total nightmares. Apparently the lead star and writer has been to rehab since so she'll be...better??
