Man About The House star Sally Thomsett signs up to the pilot
Former Eggheads star CJ de Mooi is trying to raise enough money to shoot a pilot of a sitcom he’s written.
The quizzer turned actor has persuaded Man About The House star Sally Thomsett to appear in the comedy – which would be her first screen acting role in more than 40 years.
And he says that if a broadcaster picks up the series, John Challis – best known as Boycie from Only Fools And Horse – and Ewen MacIntosh, aka Keith from The Office, are lined up to star, too.
