This woman’s acting credit will never be bettered on film or TV
It began when Mark Hamill shared a few thoughts online about the art – and accreditation – of the extra.
In the UK, movie/TV background "Extras" are called background "Artisites" which is far more respectful considering their vital contributions. But I wonder how they feel when they are billed in the End Credits as:"Fat Slob At Bar" or "Ugly Woman With Poodle"🤔

And it got plenty of responses, including this one.

Which is exactly what the internet movie database did when it came to this woman’s role in BBC1’s 1984 apocalyptic frightfest Threads.
The artists in the movie ‘Threads’ still has the best accreditation. pic.twitter.com/gQ8QR8K51p

To be fair, she’s not the only one who did it watching that.
And Jill Buchanan’s credit in a recent issue of Radio Times runs her pretty close, we reckon.
No, no, this one!
