Mr. Topp and the Big Bad Blog

It has been a couple of weeks since the smash blockbuster to be, Better Dead than Red has been mentioned in this space. Over the weekend, whilst your intrepid author has been out of the country, the behind-the-scenes workers have been hard at work on the film. Four scenes are now edited and in the bag, and the film is rapidly nearing completion.

In celebration of this, we return to the character outlines — up tonight is Prime Minister Caroline Harker. From the profile over at No Fixed Address:

Soft spoken and reserved, the Silver Lady has been described as “tougher than steel” by friends and foes alike. Commanding respect and authority all over Europe and the World, she is a powerful figure in the fight against evil, in all it’s many forms.

The Prime Minister is played by the diminutive Amy, and was probably the toughest role in the entire film. While the rest of the cast merely had to ham it up and avoid breaking into laughter, Amy was forced to slow down her incredibly rapid speech.

In the end, Amy makes an excellent Prime Minister Caroline “the Silver Lady” Harker. And that spells doom — for the living dead.
