All of the Rapscallions have been used as extras in a number of different productions for the BBC, ITV and independent film makers and are aware of the requirements and time required when making a filmed production.
We can provide you with that authentic feel that is sometimes required when making a film production, and unlike a lot of other extras we can come as a full package, we can provide the correct period costume the make up and the age range you may require, from small children to old age pensioners.

- Rochester Christmas Market - We were invited along to the Christmas market to provide a living history display and to interact with the crowds and help make it more enjoyable for them, as usually the "Scallions" drew huge crowds and the marketing team were very happy with the service we provided for them.

- Rochester Dickens Festival - Another amazing success for the Rapscallions, a number of the long standing Dickens committee agreed the pitch used by the Rapscallions did not show us off to the best of our ability and would be mentioning it to the committee to ensure we have a better pitch fr the next event. Hard work really does pay off.
