Extra People site
The series will be filmed in my local area and they're asking for women with long hair and natural eyebrows.
I've heard conflicting reports of what it's like to be an extra. Has anyone ever done it?

“Natural eyebrows”

Sorry I’ve never been an extra so can’t advise, but that super specific requirement made me laugh!

Expect lots of hanging around. There's an AMA about extra-ing.

Yes I thought the eyebrow request was funny .
DH said they'd have a job finding any young women in Essex with natural eyebrows!

Fair enough, and yes go for it! Must look period authentic, no tattooed eyebrows, no 'slugs', no drawn on sharpied stuff. No blue and pink haired pixies.
