JUDGEMENT DAY FILMING MEMORY

Long Crendon Morris men acted in the five minute scene as the green was made to look like the judging of a best kept village competition.   Morris man and Haddenham villager Mike Whitney said "We thought we were just going to be in the background, but we're playing a major part in the scene.  We did our bit over 20 times and never actually got to finish a dance. It was quite interesting to find out how it was done but I couldn't be an actor - It's too boring." The Morris men were paid £200 for their part, which Mike said they would give to charity.  Haddenham Parish Council, which gave permission for the green to be used as a film set, received £400, which will be used to help repair the church tower.  Locals were also offered the chance to appear as extras - but some turned it down as they wanted paying.
