Ahhh I know exactly what you mean but I very much doubt that’s the case with the new Oliver Twist adaptation!

It’s actually pretty standard to wear your own clothes if you’re an extra, even in a higher budget production. You get briefed on wardrobe don’ts by your agency (no lurid colours, no stripes, no huge brand logos) and sometimes, if it’s a somewhat more specific setting like a high school or some such, you’ll get asked to come dressed for that. The exception is if your scene/s has/have a very specific setting — Harry Potter, period pieces, a hospital et cetera — in which case the extras would be dressed by the production’s wardrobe department too.
Oh, and the other exception is if you’re a person of some value or renown that’s doing a cameo (which Tanya seemingly attempts to pretend her bit parts are but is clearly not the case), then you may be dressed too.
Source: I was an extra in my gap year. If anyone cares, the most famous person I met was Matt Damon and he was so, so dreamy and nice ☺
Edit: Sorry, I only just realised the previous poster may have been sarcastic about Oliver Twist being a big-budget production

I assume you got more lines/screen time than Tanya?

I assume you have actor on your linkedin then?I haven’t followed Tanya’s ‘career’ carefully, but I daresay I might’ve

Of course, darling! It’s the very first thing written on my LinkedIn page, my self-created IMDb and Wikipedia pages (which those bastards keep taking down!), my CV, my Instagram page, and my Moleskine (#ad #gifted) journal. Sometimes I even Russell Crowe in ‘A Beautiful Mind’ it and write ‘ACTOR ACTOR ACTOR ACTOR ACTOR’ on all the windows of my West London home.
But don;t forget to also ignore any of the real qualifications you have!

Oh lucky you. He really seems like someone who will be nice and friendly with everyone on set, including extrasIt’s actually pretty standard to wear your own clothes if you’re an extra, even in a higher budget production.

Matt was meant to be filming a movie in Ireland last year. He moved into the most gorgeous house in Dalkey, co Dublin. I know an actor that's in the film too and he said he's a gent.
Anyway, cause of covid Matt stayed here for ages. He'd take selfies daily and went for sea swims with the locals. He even brought his swimming stuff in a Super Valu ( like sainsburys) bag like everyone else
Became the local celebrity and said goodbye to all the shops before he went home ! Such a gent!! Another friend worked with him on The Martian and said the same. All round gent.

I’ve just scanned through ‘Twist’ and it really was a ‘blink and you miss it’ moment.
She must have filmed more scenes which ended up on the cutting room floor - that’s the only explanation for her ‘character, to have a name and for TanTan to hype it up so much. She was an extra ... which is nothing to be ashamed of, but she needs to stop making out she is a successful actress.

I just watched Twist, what a load of cringeworthy crap, she had two very small lines in it, the first line you could barely even hear or see her the line was ‘Good morning Mr Losburn’. And the only other line was ‘I thought you knew all the galleries in London’ and it was delivered in totally the wrong tone in a monotone way Everything was filmed from a distance, with no close ups, blink and you’d miss it, I’ll try and upload the clips if I can.
Sorry this has come out twice can’t delete the other one

She really is two line Tanya
Yep that’s it, 
her attempts at ‘acting’ haven’t improved at all since she first started being an extra honestly they could have got anyone off the street to do a better job than that. She still can’t deliver a line properly and it was wise of them to film her from far away and heavily edit it, you don’t want to see her face and hear her monotone voice and bad delivery at the same time 
Actually it was really only one line, you couldn’t even hear the first line she was so far away and it was just a good morning

I will say this, I think two-line Tarn looked quite pretty in the clip @Tea&Toast posted.

I wonder if these parts she gets herself through her 'connections' and not through her agent, does she still give her agent a cut? That's the etiquette in the acting world that any work you get by yourself that you give your agent the percentage they'd have earned as they are always looking for work for you, if you get yourself a job thats time where they wouldnt be able to book you for anything.
ps. i know this because I am an actor who is trained unlike Tarn
