Harry Who?
Fish Fingers and Custard Issue 1
Who, my scene in Skins was cut. Not
sure why.
I’ve just recently turned down an offer
from Eastenders, playing yet another
Mitchell relation. No matter how
destitute I am, I’m a proper actor and I
will NEVER lower myself to the
standards that the folks on Albert Square
do.
Get Me In Doctor Who!
In what (we hope) will be a regular
column in the fanzine, jobbing actor
(and part-time doorman of a
Manchester ‘Gentleman’s Club’),
Harry Sedgewick, will give us an
insight into what life in the acting
world is REALLY like. From sharing
cocktails with JNT to being arrested
by PC Tony Stamp - this man has
seen and done it all.
Greetings Who-people! My name is
Harry Sedgewick, an actor of many
years experience. You may know me
from my appearance as an evil clown
from the 1988 story ‘The Greatest Show
in The Galaxy’. Sadly - my one line was
cut, as well as the rest of my
appearance, which included me being
tripped up by Sophie Aldred. I’m not at
all bitter, as I managed to steal one of
JNT’s ‘hilarious’ Hawaiian shirts! It’s
the best memento from my 25-year
acting career, so far.
Recently I stared in ‘Silent Witness’
(playing a corpse) ‘The Bill’ (a cameo
as a petty thief, although I didn’t realise
that there was filming going on) and as a
pervert in ‘Skins’. In fact like Doctor
I was grateful to the editor for giving me
the chance to pen this column, as it’s a
great opportunity to pimp myself for a
role on the new Doctor Who. Now that
Brussel T Davies has left - the
restraining order has expired so I’m able
to pepper the new producer with letters,
gifts and offers of discounted lap
dancers. But I need YOUR HELP to
put right the biggest travesty in acting
history. Please don’t let me become the
‘nearly man’ of Doctor Who and help
me to appear in an episode that won’t
see me cut!
I’ll be a decent Rani. I hear he’s a
popular Dalek with you fans!

I must say that I’ve been thoroughly
enjoying the new Doctor Who series
with Matt Moffat. New producer
Stephen Smith has been doing a great
job (if you’re reading Stephen - contact
the editor for my address, I’ll play
anything!)
Those Crying Angel things have been
my favourite monster so far. One of my
first roles was as a 5 year-old, playing a
sheep in the school nativity play. I tried
to play it from a similar angel as the
