Celebrity Encounters IIII once stood next to Ian Beale out of EastEnders in the gents' toilets at the BBC. BEAT THAT. Tell us of celebrity encounters that went well, or meetings with the famous that ended up as a complete disaster. (And we'll take it as read you've just made up a "I got touched up by Jimmy Savile" story, OK?)

Lionel Blair is a great dancer but a lousy frisbee throwerMy father went to school with a former cast member of Hi De Hi. They've never lost touch, despite his wavering levels of fame over the years so, during the 80's we were frequently invited to various social occasions attended by the comedy & tv faces of the time.
During that time I met Bernard Breslaw, Anita Dobson, Derek Griffiths, Ken Dodd, Su Pollard, Ruth Madoc and others who for some reason I've chosen to blank from my memory (not for yew tree reasons). They were all lovely and, as an added bonus none of them, on any occasion threw a frisbee at my head on Weymouth Beach.
BUT FUCKING LIONEL BLAIR DID!
Will I be the first of many to speak up against frisbee throwing 80's celebrities? I can't be the only one. I was afraid to speak up before because I didn't think anyone would believe me
