Karl Lucas - Granada Studios Tour

Granada Studios Tour

Lucas worked a Granada Studios Tour from 2000 to 2009 in various roles ranging from Number 10 Downing Street Policeman, New York Cop, Baker Street Characters, German Guard at Checkpoint Charlie and many others. Notably he worked as writer/performer in the House of Commons Show (a live comedy debate,set in a lifesize version of the House of Commons). Lucas played the roles of Speaker of the House, Black Rod and Labour and Conservative Members of Parliament.

At the Studios Tour Live action shows were performed at intervals throughout each day, including a parody of a political debate in the House of Commons chamber set used for First Among Equals. This set was often used by other television productions wanting to set scenes in the Commons chamber, such as The New Statesman, and in 2002 was purchased by the scriptwriter Paul Abbott so that it could be used in his BBC drama serial State of Play.
