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?

From Countdown to ecstasyMy best mate won through 3 rounds of 'Countdown' a few years back, which had a certain novelty factor about it because he's a long-haired middle-aged hippy underground rock dude and not your usual sort of contestant (there was even one sublime moment during the 3rd show when the closing credits were replaced by a recording of the Countdown theme performed by my mate, with Carol Vorderman playing air-guitar along to it... oh how we laughed)
So anyway, he and I were sat in a cafe the day after one of the programmes had been aired when an old lady sat behind us piped up, "Excuse me, but didn't I see you on television last night?"
My mate sat up, ruffled up his feathers (as it were) and said "Yes! Did you enjoy it?", to which the woman responded "Not you, him" (pointing at me) "You were on Blind Date, weren't you?"
I hadn't been, but it was a joyous moment nonetheless.
