Local actors in "A mugs game" Were you in it.?

[Ninja Mania]

Remember the 4 part series about the fish farm filmed between Tarbert and Campbeltown, with lots of talented locals getting various acting parts.
Just watched it again, it was great to see so many local yokels having such high profile parts in it, like sherif clerk, to beer swallowers, not to mention the ladies in the fish farm, phew etc etc

If you would like a copy of it on dvd, please pm me with your name and address or phone number, whatever suits, and I will see what I can do.

yes Mr Ninja,

it was a good 3 part drama.

I can honestly say i was at the 'coal face' with it as u very well know as No1 daughter & your niece had one of the starring roles! i can remember the experience of it all & it was one i will never forget.

There were a good few actors, directors & producers in it that did go on to do bigger and better things as well. Ken stott, who is rebus had a lead role, Ewan Stewart, the son of the singer Andy, Ewan also starred in the film titanic, i believe he was the one that shot himself cos he hit the iceberg!, Michelle Fairley played Ewan Stewarts Wife, Kate Murphy & Iain Robertson who was awarded a BAFTA for some of his later roles, he also had a part in the recent film The shooter starring wesley snipes.

the main role in my eyes was jennifer who was played by my daughter & local campbeltown girl at the time Karina Lang, who played Jennifer.

The series was filmed in the summer of 1996 and was screened in the October if i remember right. it took 4 weeks to film, 2 on location & 2 in the studio, the two studio weeks were filmed at Tarbert Fair time as they would not get the use of tarbert at that time.

All in all it was a good experience, just wish more of these things could happen in our area.

careful Jock the thread police are back in town.

Have to say the young chap, the main character, was an awful actor, and his "Uncle Mart'n" phrase grated everytime it was mentioned. But it was great to see so many familiar faces it it.

Iain was a rather short policeman in one or two episodes. Ken Stott drove a car over his foot - be great to see it again!
