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?

My first day working at the House of Commonsit was the Channel Four political awards, and I got to go along as the MP I was working for was presenting one of the prizes. The programme itself lasted about an hour, but the actual event naturally went on rather longer, and was liberally supplied with booze and rather nice nibbles.
To make it less obvious that I was simply scabbing as much alcohol as I could, I kept shifting between bars, moving from one side of the room to the other. After a while I was fairly drunk, and had lost all sense of decorum.
So in the final programme - thanks to the editing etc - I could be seen popping up seemingly randomly in the background, swigging a variety of wine, champagne etc, gobbling food, barging in front of various luminaries to get served, and at one memorable moment picking my nose while Jon Snow presented Barbara Castle with a lifetime achievement award.
Luckily my boss was too pissed off with a singularly unfunny Harry Enfield skit to have noticed.
