Shoot info: One day shoot filming in Bristol – Aiming for 31st January or 1st February.
BRIAN – Playing Age – 21-26 Brian is truly trying his best to fit in but just can’t figure it out, clearly nervous but trying to play it cool (and failing). Sticking out like a sore thumb in the family already, his request for salt simply emphasises this.
RICHARD (Father) – Playing Age – 45-55 Richard is a very stern and protective father and isn’t too sure about Brian. He has a very serious demeanour and it solidifies his unapproving opinion of Brian when he asks for the salt.
SARAH (Daughter) – Playing Age – 21-26 Sarah is a polite girl who has been nervous about Brian meeting the family, not because of who he is, but because of how her father acts. She knows it’ll take a lot to impress him so is devastated when Brian messes up. As she was already on edge, she ends up bursting into tears over the event, truly mortified at what has happened.
CAROLINE (Mother) – Playing Age – 45-55 Caroline is completely on Brian’s side and has wanted to meet him for ages. She begins the advert being very happy, smiling at Sarah hinting how pleased she is. But after he makes his mistake, she looks disappointed in the situation, and worries how her husband may react.
