As a nine-year old in love with the world of acting and movies, it’s useful when your Dad manages filming and productions at Englefield House and helps secure you a role in a new TV series being filmed at the Estate.

Beatrice “Bea” Carson, daughter of Englefield’s Events Manger, Peter Carson, was cast as an extra in a new Netflix series which is due to air in 2025.

Too Much - a rom-com which follows Jessica Salmon, a workaholic in her mid-thirties who moves to London for a new life after a break-up – was filmed at Englefield House in 2024.

Bea played the important role of a flower girl during a wedding scene which took place at St Mark’s Church on the Estate.

She said, “My dress was grey with flowers on, and I had a pink cardigan and white tights. I also had to have my hair curled and I had some lipstick on, which I loved because I don’t usually wear make-up.”

After hair and make-up, Bea and the other cast members took the minibus from the crowd-base to the church where they filmed for most of the day. “I was sitting at the front of the church for the wedding scene, so I was able to watch the whole thing, talk with the lead actors and see all the different camera positions and lighting throughout the church. It was amazing!

“We were then filmed walking up the aisle and outside the church. My favourite part was throwing the confetti for the family photos and meet the dog that was part of the story!”

Bea said that if her favourite writer Rick Riordan decides to create a TV adaptation of his Percy Jackson Greek Gods series, then she would love to be considered!
