What a w*****, so he is !

I mentioned about Philip schofield breaking a vase on the set, he sounded so surprised that he got into trouble for it and had to pay for it, what did he expect, guess if any of us go to work and deliberately break something we'd be in line for a verbal warning and made to pay for it.

It depends whether he broke the vase on purpose, if he did, then they'd be right in asking him to pay for it.

On a slightly related note: apparently the shop props in Corrie and Emmerdale are notorious for 'going missing'. Usually chocolate bars and other such quick snacks. Apparently if the actors or crew are caught in the act, they are made to pay for them.

The shop set on High Road had a hinged fourth wall that was swung closed and padlocked after hours to stop the liquor and cigarettes being carried off by mice at night.

True story.

IIRC, the shop in Brookside had TCP injected into the chocolate bars to avoid any half-inching of the stock....

Why would they even use real produce in the first place? Surely the stuff in a shop, pub or cafe in a soap would be dummys so they could be used long term without going off/melting

I asked that, and was told it was easier to buy the real thing from the cash 'n' carry and lock the set. Most of it being in boxes and wrappers, so it could be crawling and mouldy inside, but you'd never know.

Fresh loafs of bread used to be bought every so often, so consequently you'd often see one of the characters "restocking" it.

apparently he didn't like it getting in his shot behind him

Judge for yourself. The clip of him breaking the vase was used in a montage on the last show before the summer break but there was no context given. This YouTube video gives a fuller story

The difference is, your work probably doesn't involve entertaining millions of viewers, and therefore good value could be had out of breaking said vase.

What has that got to do with it?

It looks like a fairly deliberate act from that video. I'm sure the cost of the two ornaments had little impact on his disposable income, so perhaps it was just done as a lesson to him and other staff that destroying their employer's property was unacceptable.

I didn't see anything amusing about it.

It seemed to me that Schofield was annoyed about being upstaged by a vase: this fits with press reports about him recently by Fern Britton's former agent.
