My Dad is seen (and heared) riding his motorbike on Boys from the blackstuff in 1982 here at 4.10min http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_o0eep02tU
He used to show me this when I was a kid. Has anyone been in a tv program or film?

My wife and kids featured in the travel programme "Fun in the Sun" (on ITV I think it was) in December 1989 - a feature on Sierra Leone. I was working and she was by the pool when the cameras turned up - she slagged off the airport organisation which could have been risky. Sierra Leone was a great place in those days pre civil war in 1991.
I have been on Al Jazeera, and Ghana and Ivory Coast TVs over the years. I would not class that as fame particularly but a few years ago my local indian restaurant claimed to have seen the Ghana programme on one of the obscure Sky channels.

Apart from a few local newspaper bits, I was on Saturday Superstore and asked Roland Gift of the fine young cannibals a question while in the studio live on TV

Not to fame but to shame.
I appeared - quite by accident - in the morning, lunchtime and evening news bulletins the day following a particularly nasty incident I attended and got a very severe bollocking for it. :-? ;D
-
i saw myself on rugby special once :)

Were you waving and hold a card saying 'Hello Mom'?

Me and Mrs AA appeared on Children in Need about 20 years ago.

I might as well have been W. ;D ;D

Been in a travel brochure, otherwise managed to avoid my 15 mins of fame ;D
I have, in a previous job, visited some relatively famous people ;)

i called patsy kensit an old slapper years ago in a club, and got kicked out for it ;D ;D

I was filmed by a Japanese TV crew while playing a squeezebox in a Dublin bar a few years ago (& I'm not Irish) ;)
-
does crime watch count or police 5 if so thats my claim ;D ;D ;D
-
My wife was on deal or no deal last year:)
-
I was on car booty. Wandering around haggling over the price of tat. :-[
-
About my only claim to fame is that I once met a survivor of the Titanic disaster. She had been a nanny for a wealthy family in 1912 and was a friend of my Great Aunt, who I met this lady with.
Looking back I should have asked a lot of questions, but I was too young to do so!! ::) ::) ::)
-
My claim to fame , i was on fifteen to one a good few years ago ,and managed to get to the last three! , went very quickly downhill from there and was the first one knocked out, actually got people ringing the house to say "well done" ,it was a good day out and scored with the expenses, still got it on VHS tape somewhere.
-
Nearest thing I've been is on my local radio station, on a late night call in program.
And was filmed for a short News piece for Central News many years ago (when the camera's still used film in them), but unfortunately my piece was at the end of the reel, and it had t be scrapped as it hadn't recorded too well ~ Figures, as when people take photos of me, the cameras seam to play up after that !! :-/

My claim to fame has yet to be finalised .... but other than that I had a similar mishap to Zulu's .... was keeping press, onlookers and general riff-raff out of a factory which was closing down. Managed to avoid getting caught in a camera's "field of view" for a few days. Then one night saw myself on the evening news leaning nonchalantly on the traffic barrier without a care in the world!!!!
The ONLY five minutes I relaxed the whole time (honest!) and the bloody cameras were still there !!!!
-
I must be on hundreds of 20 year old photos. I used to work at CBS records (now sony music) in Soho Square. I was forever trying to get the likes of Bros or Deacon Blue in the back door without being spotted, but very rarely succeeded. Imagine the horror when they looked at their prized picture, only to see my ugly mug instead of the georgeous Matt Goss. ::)

I was once an unpaid extra in a feature film. It was a long time ago - probably about 1958. Can't remember what the film was called, if I ever knew.
I have this fantasy that I will be watching a film on the telly one day and I'll recognise myself. Not likely to happen, 'cos I don't generally watch films of that vintage.
They were filming outside our house one day and my schoolfriend and I got roped in. I was told to stand there and look like I was having a conversation with my friend. We were told to say "Rhubarb, rhubarb" because that gave the appearance on film of normal speech. Weird. :) :) :)

Off topic, J .... but do you remember the film "Rhubarb" with all the classic comedians. the only words in the whole film were ... you guessed it ... rhubarb ;D

Have also been in The Inspector Lynley Mysteries as a police officer. :y

When I moved to Slough, the very first TV programme I saw when I switched the TV on was a police thing .. in Slough .. attending a fight just down the road from my house.
Wondered what I'd let myself in for! ;D

When I was unemployed for a while, took my taxi licence for Bristol. Late one night a man climbed in my taxi from The Hippodrome and asked to be taken to Temple Meads BR station.
His fare was £9, he gave me £20, and told me to keep the change.
I like Jim Davidson.........................and Alison was'nt too bad either!! (went to school with her)
