Reenacting the landing of Monmouth for a tv programme in the late 90s. The cameras were filming us come in and I had one chance to leap out the boat and fall down on my knees and make some sort of gesture. I was petrified I'd fall on my arse. If I remember rightly everyone wanted to be in the boat and those on the beach got a bit grumpy waiting for us to row ashore as it was a little dull as these things are. Happy days.Tuesday 9 December 2008
