When I watch those OUT-TAKE programmes, where we see the inner workings
of TV and film, I am always amazed at the outdoor (location) shots where
every single person is a paid cast-member. Nowadays it seems that unless
it is totally unavoidable all the pedestrians on film are extras.


Presumably to avoid being sued by identifiably "real" people who have their
own reasons for not wanting to appear, without permission or payment, in a
commercial film? Aren't they supposed to sign a release form?
