I couldn't imagine anyone stooping so low - he must have spent the cash from the show pretty quick and suddenly realised that the new work offers were not exactly flooding in. v.sad.

Tom Baker, striding through Leicester Square, London, rather a tall chap!
Gary Wilmot in about 1994, having lunch in an outdoor caff in Leicester Square.
Met Jenna Russell outside the stage door of the Piccadilly Theatre after seeing her in Guys And Dolls (she's tiny!).
Met Kenneth Baker and Lord Wakeham the day our power station was opened. Lord Wakeham was a midget, Mr Baker came over as just as oily as he did on TV.
Met and spoke to Mark Speight at an environment day in Peterborough Central Park. Came accross as a nice bloke, did a brilliant cartoon sketch of my daughter as she was playing at shy and had her hands over her face. Still got the sketch, sad he's no longer with us.
Met Edmund Hockridge twice at the Key Theatre in Peterborough and he came accross as an extremely nice bloke.
Wifey met and was chatted up by Neil Morrisey and Martin Clunes in the midst of their Men Behaving Badly era and said they seemed to be trying to live up to their characters.
When she worked for John Lewis, wifey organised book signings for Geoff Hamilton the gardener (pardon the pun but very down-to-earth) and Terry Waite, who she said was just as nice a guy as he seemed on TV.
Wifey also saw Princess Diana in Marks & Sparks Oxford Street, Bon Jovi in Tower Records Picadilly and saw Hugh Laurie and family at Holkham Beach in Norfolk.

Saw Charles and Di clattering through Waterloo Stn on their wedding day. I had just arrived at the station and couldn't work out why the crowds were there.
The late Robin Cook in Venice around New Year in, I think 03 or 04.
Enoch Powell on the pavement outside Charing X sometime in the 80s.
Got stuck in a lift with John Martyn.
Got beaten at table football by Bon Scott (first singer of AC/DC) around 1979.
Bearded comedian called Rory wotsit (never mind the bollocks??) cycling through Oxford a year or two back.

Salvador Dali in his glass topped Rolls Royce at Nice airport, approx 1963.
Bobby Caharlton was there too, same time, same place, standing by the airport entrance. I don't think he was with Mr Dali.
Rolf Harris ambling around the fancy toy shop in Regent's Street. My kids were very excited and he kindly signed something for them.

And Michael Aspell was sitting at the next table to me in a pub just off Bond Street somewhere.
Ian Brown of Stone Roses filling up his Jeep at Knutsgford Services next to me filling up my Fireblade. My mate had worked with him in the past, said he was a bit of a knob, so kept his helmet on in case Mr Brown recognised him.

I saw Andrew Lloyd Webber once near Woodstock, Oxfordshire. It was on one of the back roads, he leapt out of the car (an old Volvo estate IIRC) and started flapping around like a loon. Think he had an unwanted wasp in the car. Anyway it was him.
Saw Alan Shearer in the carpark at Coventry City FC. - he was quite short I thought, grumpy git too.

Stood next to him at a Mini-Rugby tournament, Grove/Wantage if I remember correctly.
Robin Gibb of Bee Gees was next to me as we perused the CDs in our local record shop. I thought 'who's this scruffy little bloke?' before I realised who it was. He's often about, has a house in the town.
