SOCCER-MAD screen star Robson Green has told how he boots the filming of his new drama into touch when there is football on the television.
The Geordie star of Wire In The Blood, Reckless and Soldier Soldier, has a demand for Sky TV written into his BBC contract.
He told how filming of his new drama, Trust, had to be fitted in around Newcastle United's European Champion's League campaign.
Filming was put on hold while his beloved Toon were battling for glory against Barcelona and Inter Milan.
Robson, 37, said: "In my contract, I have to have Sky TV in my caravan.
"We scheduled around the football. Football comes first and then I will do a bit of drama."
He is currently considering offers of work in the States to play bad guys in a series of shows.
Robson has a big following in America after the success of Reckless but is worried about ditching his clean-cut image.
