When Time & Time Again was revived by Alan Ayckbourn at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in the Round in 1986, the press officer - Russ Allen - organised a publicity stunt (one of several largely ill-conceived ideas) to audition gnomes for the play. Apparently 21 were entered although judging by production photographs, the winner did not actually appear in the production.
