MAKING A FILM

The residents of a small town in Wiltshire were very excited, when a popular police TV show chose the area as a good place to film an episode. The film crew went round talking to residents and researching locations and had been in the town for two days when they visited a jewellery shop. The owner was not surprised when a young man with a clipboard came in and asked if they could film a scene in his shop. The owner, thinking it would be great for business, readily agreed and a few hours later, the young man returned with a video camera and three men wearing masks of various American presidents and carrying shotguns. The young man told the owner that he was going to film the men coming in, filling their bags full of jewels, then running out into a waiting car and driving off. All the owner had to do was look surprised and put his hands up. Everything went smoothly, the men filled their bags, ran out and the young man had followed them with the camera. However, when no-one had returned after 30 minutes, the owner realised he'd been duped and called the police.
