Looking for somewhere affordable to live in London, Toby Jones finds himself holed up in a damp room in Kensal Rise, near Notting Hill. Plagued by the nagging thought that he should give up house-hunting, contrive his own disappearance and seek adventure elsewhere, he is invited to audition for the film Notting Hill. Performed by Toby Jones himself, this is a comic tale based on the true story of how he met Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts , ended up on the cutting-room floor and began to feel that he was being deleted from his own life.
