The band were approached on the 3rd October 2005 to be filmed for a scene in a BBC TV adaption of the 2004 Man Booker Prize winning novel "The Line of Beauty" by Alan Hollinghurst.

Set in the 1980's, we perform at a 25th Wedding Anniversary Celebration providing entertainment for a guest list that includes Margaret Thatcher and several Tory MPs. The scene was broadcast on BBC1 on the 24th May 2006.

We filmed our parts on the 10th October in the gardens of a stately pile called High Canons in Hertfordshire. It was all rather surreal mixing with actors like Tim Mcinnerny and Alice Krige but after a while it just seemed like a normal function gig. The Director (Saul Dibb - The Dutchess) and crew were fantastic and treated us superbly . We feel privileged to have had the opportunity to do this and we'd like to say a big thank you to Tania Neumann and Jennie Fava for hiring us in the first place.

The Director used three songs "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Sunny Afternoon" and "Get off of my Cloud" and the dancing scene is a live recording.

I was the 2nd Assistant Direct on BBC Production of “The Line Of Beauty” and I needed to find a music band for a very integral scene in the story involving a party for the Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. I came across The GnT Experiment’s website and was immediately impressed. They joined us for a day’s filming and I did not regret for one minute choosing them. Although they did not have the particular song we wanted in their repertoire, they assured me it would be no problem for them to learn it (despite the very short notice). The band were incredibly friendly, accommodating, punctual and professional, and more importantly they sounded great. They generated a fantastic atmosphere on set enabling the cast to throw themselves into the scene with much needed enthusiasm.

Despite having to film the same scene repeatedly as is the way of filming, the band never wavered or seemed to tire.

I would definitely hire the The GnT Experiment again not only for filming purposes, but for any event where I wanted the evening to go with a bang!
