Just read thread quickly. First reaction... eeek!!
Just to add to what Phil said...
Boom it yourself. Get an SQN mixer and ride levels yourself. Worth it if you think this job might lead to other things. Is the show any good? If it isn't, jfriah's advice to "run" might be the best thing. The pointing of the boom mic is 90% of the sound.
This is a very good book:

PS God I hate that hierarchical political toe stepping crap that goes on with some film crew. "Be nice or they will bury you". No, be nice, make no assumptions, and if they are not nice back tell them to **** off. Then they will respect you.
