Episode 8 - Everyone's A Critic

This episode was filmed at the "Campbelltown Arts Centre" in Campbelltown, a sleepy town approximately 50kms (I think) from Sydney's CBD. This was also the final episode which we had filmed for, for the entire TV series and we departed for this town straight after filming part two at the "Art Gallery of New South Wales" (aired on episode 6).
A maxi cab was organized by Matchbox pictures which took the Melbourne cast members to our apartment/motel in Campbelltown. Exhausted from the day's filming, I sat next to Maurice and Harry right at the back of the cab and joked with Maurice that all I wanted was silence. Maurice is a very sweet person who looks after me and I feel bad to not have drinks with him after being invited for the umpteenth time!! I don't think he understands that at 45, I usually feel like death at the end of the working day. I simply do not have the energy like he does. 
Rudo and I have never been in an argument nor have we ever raised our voices at each other before. On the contrary, we joke heaps and laugh like bloody hyenas and are very light hearted. However, due to the difference in our opinions on drugs, drug addiction and drug traffickers, we clashed big time filming for the "pigeon and egg" scene.
People get surprised when they learn that I have never touched drugs in my entire life. Laugh all you want but I have never even smoked weed. Somebody told me on set that as drug use is rampant within the gay community, anybody would think that I am a user, but I am not. 
And I hold a very hard stance against drug use for I have seen families torn apart just because somebody in their family is on it. I have even witnessed first hand how somebody who is so lovely and kind hearted would turn into a monster once the chemicals take over. 
My own grandfather was one such victim of drug addiction. He lost the entire family estate which included a massive rubber plantation in Malaysia and properties just because of his opioid addiction. Hence, I am of the belief that drug traffickers need to have the book thrown at them with serious consequences meted out. They rolled the dice and lost. End of story. XOXOX ​
