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?

background and foreground appearancesI was in the audience for Children in Need (when they did the live feed from 'the regions', the region I was in being Bristol) You couldn't see my face though becuase I was trying to see myself in the monitor which was slightly off to the side (behind the hostess who was fitness woman The Green Goddess). All you could see was the back of my head, looking at the back of my head in the monitor, looking at the back of my head in the monitor, looking at the back of my head in the monitor....
I've also been in the audience for The Two Ronnies, The Keith Barratt Show, Does Doug Know?, Kings of Comedy, Esther! and accidentally appeared in a C4 documentary about under age sex. They filmed a bit in my office, and I could be seen in the background sucking a lollypop and looking tired because I had no make up on.
Also Timmy Mallett shattered all my childhood illusions at the Ashton Court balloon festival by a) being a grumpy man with a black umbrella and b) telling me to pretend, on camera, that I'd won a teddy-bear-naming competition when in fact they'd already named the bear (can't remember what they named it, but it was shit) before making me tie the bear to a helium balloon and let it go even though I wanted to keep it.
Sorry for length, this is my first QOTW post.
