Repost from @rufusgwright • #tbt BOMBER, an ITV Drama Premiere from early 2000. Working with Andrew Lincoln, definitely one of the nicest actors in the business, and also the lovely @estjhall1, @ieu61, @captainscrib, Mark Strong and Isabel Brook. (Tim and Ieuan- who’s that between you both?) Playing a bomb disposal officer in the Royal Logistics Corps. We had terrific support from the army, and the bomb disposal suit was still the heaviest costume I’ve ever worn- around 40kg. Wearing Mess Kit was the first of many times I’ve emulated my father, uncle and brother by playing a British Army Officer- for those unfamiliar with Mess Kit, it’s Evening Wear for officers and is a mixture between a dinner jacket, a bullfighter’s costume, a wetsuit and a bellboy’s outfit and you’ve never worn anything as cool in your whole life. Directed by David Drury, who sadly died in June last year. - - - - #drama #bombdisposal #britisharmy #andrewlincoln #thewalkingdead #markstrong #ITV #bomb #bomber #ied #IED #messkit #eveningwear #tuxedo #bespoke #bespoketailoring #gold #RLC #RoyalLogisticsCorps #military #militaryuniform #messkit https://www.instagram.com/p/CZhJ_Q2uZFW/?utm_medium=tumblr
