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?

Not a huge amountI live right by one of the tunnel entrance/exits on the Bluebell Railway ( a touristy steam train line for those who don't know). We've had a few things happen, when ITV did their remaking of the Railway children they shot a few scenes on that tunnel entrance less than 50 meters from our house.
The BBC have been there before, can't remeber what for, but I remeber they were using our toliets as their portable one was broken. And when there was that Worst Jobs in Britain program with Tony Robinson, they did a shoot a couple of hundred meters down the track from us for the victorian railway builders job. You can see the top of our house over the ridge there.
At the quarry I worked in over the summer there was once a Benny Hill sketch filmed. It was a James Bond spoof using one of our large circular stone-cutting saw and moving table thingies. It hasn't been used in years, but it still sits there.
That's all my claims to stardom. Bit shit really.
