It's an experience he'll never forget
A Nottinghamshire man said it "felt like a dream" when he starred on BBC One soap EastEnders. George Codd, from Gedling, was in the hit show last night after winning the opportunity to make an appearance as part of the BBC's 100-year celebrations.
EastEnders super-fan George applied for the long-running soap - and he was successful. He was told he had been selected in a surprise Zoom call from actor Natalie Cassidy, who plays Sonia Fowler in the show.In the episode, George walked into the iconic Queen Vic pub before ordering a pint from Alfie and he appeared in the background of a scene with characters Jay and Linda. As well as the filming, George was given a tour of the set.
"I feel extremely fortunate to see the magic behind the cameras, but extra fortunate to have filmed with the cast for an actual episode. It's a day that I will remember for the rest of my life." Other opportunities on offer included doing a spot of gardening on Gardeners' World, being an alien on Doctor Who, lying as a motionless patient on Casualty and making a sound effect on the Archers.
