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?

This is David LanderI used to work in an office round the corner from Battersea Heliport. One day they were filming a TV comedy program called 'This is David Lander' in front of the building.
The scene involved the lead actor running out of the entrance to our building being chased by reporters, then heading up the road into a helicopter waiting at the heliport and flying off.
My office was right above the entrance so we spent most of the day watching them film about 10 takes for this, peering out of the windows. Most of the time we were p*&&*&g ourselves laughing, as everytime they ran out of the building, the camera crew and all of the production team (about 20 of 'em) would run out into the busy main roud outside the office and follow the actors. There were a couple of near misses, but no-one got run over.
They also used to film a lot of 'The Bill' episodes around there and where I lived, so I got into the background there a couple if times. I was also annoyed one time when I couldn't go into the shop on the way to work as they were filming a robbery in there.
