Laurel and Hardy
DUDLEY folk have the chance to star in BBC film about comedy duo Laurel and Hardy.
Men and women of all ages can apply to appear as an extra in the Stan & Ollie, which centres on the ageing double act's 1953 variety hall tour of Britain.
Shoot dates are being kept under wraps, however parts will be filmed in Dudley, where the comedy giants stayed at the Station Hotel while performing at the Hippodrome.
Steve Coogan is lined up to play Stan Laurel, while John C Reilly will take on the role of Oliver Hardy for the film, directed by Jon Baird.
The casting call can be found at www.castingcollective.co.uk.
