Occupational Hazards for Character Actors at HK Disneyland!

[robinschroder]

Hello,

 

This 5 minute radio item from BBC Radio Five Live may be of interest. Apparently more than 30 character actors at Hong Kong Disneyland have reported aches and pains after wearing their costumes, but are unable to get time off to recover.

 

Open this link up in Real Player :

and spin forward to 2 hours, 47 minutes and 20 seconds! This link is good for 1 week from now.

 

Enjoy!

Robin

I thought that Five Live was sports coverage?

^ Five Live is "the BBC's home of live news and live sport"! A big percentage of its output is news and current affairs based, which is generally dealt with by way of live interviews / panel discussions / phone-ins rather than just studio cue - pre-rec despatch - studio cue - pre-rec despatch - etc. Anyway...
