You're a moviestar babySetting up a 'greenscreen' at work got me thinking about the films and tv that I've accidentally been in.
Helena Bonham-Carter vehicle "The Heart of Me" was filmed in our old office, and features several of us peering through the curtains whilst they filmed in the square outside. Similarly, my girlfriend was in an episode of the Professionals that was filmed outside her house.
What have you been in the background of?

The local paper.....For one reason or another, my year 6 primary school class was class of the week in our local paper (although the feature didn't appear for another 6 weeks or so, so we can't have been that good). Anyway, I was sat at the front right of the photo they were taking, and I thought it would be a laugh (actually, knew it would be a laugh) to stick my fingers up at the camera as the shot was taken. They took several shots, but they never noticed whilst they were taking them that I was being a rude little boy indeed. Anyway, the picture that they finally put in the paper (and was therefore the best) was one of me with my middle finger clearly up, with everyone in my vicinity laughing their bollocks off.
Fortunately, this was a paper my parents never read, so I was surely off the hook. Unfortunately, my dad's friend does read it, and so after being informed of this misdemeanour, my dad stops off at a newsagent (on the way to our holiday destination, no less), buys the paper, looks at the picture, and gives me a good rollicking. Was still worth it though, because I flipped the bird to the whole town, even if I didn't get the same attention in the press as that BBC executive (who just copied me, the useless twat!).
No apologies for length, because frankly, I couldn't give two shits.
