A pencil means that you are one of the ones that they like the look of, kind of like putting a tick by your name. It is also to let you know to keep the shoot date clear. I must say we have not usually been recalled after a pencil, but I would imagine it means they have a few boys on a pencil.

Lots of luck, hope the pencil turns into a job for you x

hello there, pencilled in means they are considering you and possibly you may get the role, sounds like there are three boys which are being considered (dont get to excited sometimes its a no). What agent are you with ? My dd has been pencilled in a few times and sometimes its a yes and other times its a no. Good luck. =D>

They do like you to have everything in place while they decide. A fortnight notice is great news, our LEA is very quick but some dig their heels in and refuse to budge - Hope yours is one of the reasonable ones. Fingers crossed x
