In no particular order
- I worked with several of the people who used to be on GamesMaster, but weren't Patrick Moore or Dominic Diamond (although I did meet him and he was an utter cock).
- I once appeared on Live!TV with that blonde one who does a bit on the BBC News channels Click thing. Kate somebody?
- I went to dinner with Geri Halliwell's brother. He was a nice guy.
- I once accidentally walked between Prince William and his bodyguard when leaving Blockbuster in Slough. It wasn't until I got outside that and saw them get into the black Range Rovers that I realised who he was. No, I don't know what he rented.
- At Uni I used to hang around sometimes with Will Smith. Not that one, this one, who's now a comedian and appears on things like The Thick Of It. He shared a house with my then girlfriend.
- I grew up near Roald Dahl's house, saw him fairly regularly. We used to play football in his orchard. Somewhere (I think my sister nicked it) I have a signed copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
- I have appeared as a guest on BBC Radio Humberside and recorded my bit in the studio that Terry Wogan used to use.
- I went to the wedding of Helena Bonham Carter's brother -- the bride was a friend of my gran's.

Two brilliant things here.
Did you get to meet Helena Bonham Carter at her brother's wedding? And Kate Russell - BBC Click - she's lovely in a naughty neighbour sort of way - what's she like when the camera goes off?

(jealous!)

Hmm
"Meet" would be stretching the truth. "View at a distance as she hid behind great big sunglasses and too much makeup" would be more accurate. I remember her being very, very short.

Kate seemed like a nice, genuine person. I was mostly there for the free food/booze so to be honest, didn't really interact with her much.
