I loved dressing up and seeing everyone in suits and lovely dresses but what it boiled down to in the end was paying £70 to watch a film I’d already seen 15 times in a car park in bleddy Dagenham. They had actors walk along the stage below the cinema screen every now and then, who ‘enhanced’ bits of the film. To cut a long story short, we were then quickly ushered into the film screening. Bought a vodka martini and strutted about a bit. The sets were hugely impressive, Miami Aiport, Venice, Madagascar, poker tables etc. I won’t go into detail here since I don’t want to spoil anything so after that we went inside the “Casino Royale”. Then it was time to meet my contact and get my mission ‘briefing’. This was cool- I got some great pics and it all looks very authentic. What did I expect? My girlfriend and friends bought a few glasses and queued up to have our photo taken in the ‘gunbarrel’ stand they had set up. On arrival you have the opportunity to buy small glasse of prosecco for £6.50 a pop. Schlepped all the way across London to Dagenham East for the pleasure.
