Cor, dear, what a fuss over 70 seconds . . .
I am actually quite surprised at goings-on on this blog. It's about a film, rather than local politics, and it seems that people who haven't taken the trouble to see it in its online version - where it has been available for months, as broadband users will know - are getting all excited about the appearance of one of our local councillors.
Much of the problem now seems due to the fact she is listed as a "guest star" . . . anyone who knows anything about films will know that this interprets as a cameo part where someone well-known pops up on screen for a moment or two . . . and that is the case here. Having just measured the time exactly, I can confirm that the scene in which she appears runs for 1minute and 40 seconds, and she herself is onscreen for around 55 of those seconds - heavens!
She is also talking about a ficticious incident which is part of a comedy film . . . it has nothing to do with real life. Even more to the point you can watch the episode in which she appears, and see the exact same scene (which many thousands of people have already done) at this web address:
http://www.felixstowetv.co.uk/sock/ep4.html
and the scene in this episode is the only one in which she appears in the whole film!
However, now we have been made so completely aware of her power to attract an audience, I won't hesitate to ask her to be in the next one!

Certain people have over-reacted to the local dignatory and have used The Lost Sock blog to make unwanted political comment on something they obviously don't understand - or even want to - and that is, as you rightly say Chris, this blog is purely about a film. Written by local scriptwriters from Felixstowe Scribblers, acted by local thespians, serialised on Felixstowe TV and now portayed on the big screen at the Spa. Where are the politics in that?
That there are cameo roles of local celebrities in the film shows only that they have all taken an interest and a pride in portraying themselves in a fictional story and have not appeared for political gain.
Those people having political viewpoints to make should make them in the appropriate places and NOT on this blog.
