enjoyed making prank calls. I spent half an hour on the phone to
Clarks pretending to be a man who couldn't get his shoe off.” Tom sharing
with us how hard and serious this filming business is... ;)

Earl of Bedlam, pantaloons and Tom.
So where do I begin with this one?! Erm pantaloons- yes that’s as good a place
any. Tom had smuggled to him a pair of peasant pantaloons from the Musketeers
set (as you do,) which he took along to local crafters of bespoke clothing The
Earl of Bedlam. He commissioned them to make two waistcoats, one of which
using the illicit pantaloons of smuggling. This whole saga came to light as
Caroline from TEOB has been kindly sharing photos of Tom and the waistcoats at
various stages of creation (the waistcoats, not Tom that is) on twitter
(@NewsfromBedlam) Instagram and facebook. Tom eventually showcased the
now cunningly disguised pantaloons at the InStyle EE Rising Stars event and press
night for Rabbit Hole. You can see Tom talking about Pantaloon smuggling in this
video. (No really!) (A massive thanks to Caroline and Mark at The Earl of Bedlam
for allowing me to repost these.)
