Anybody Ever Interact With A Celebrity Who Was Incredibly.....

For anecdotal reasons...a bit of extra here :
Amanda Burton I was told was not friendly, but she was ribbing me a lot of the day as I was dressed as vicar giving counsel after a bombing, and i thought she was ace.

Wolf Kahler gently cajoled me into turning my pager off when he was aware i had one on me  as my wife was near to giving birth.

Paul Kaye, and Andy Serkis joked quite a bit.

Ralph Brown [dressed as a  prison guard]  played a  game of makeshift rounders with some of us extras dressed as prisoners whilst filming at 0xford prison in between takes/lunch.
Warren Mitchell [also dressed as a prisoner in same production] was sitting on a bench watching the 'rounder's match, and chatted quite pleasantly when i sat next to him taking a breather. He left the film next day soon after i started  and was replaced by David Kelly soon after following apparently a dust-up/disagreement with v.jones.

I very drunkenly, unintentionally  cheesed off for a bit Leo Sayer in his back-stage hospitality bit, after drinking [lots of] his complimentary beer and wine of which i was a guest. I sorta said to him, after he had come offstage and was having a Guinness and a bit of a towel down [and being friendly] that "I liked your first album, then you went all poppy." to which he huffilly and understandably said "Well i'm sorry!!" and stormed off for a shower. The girl I was with was horrified and embarrassed that I [as a guest] had said this, quoffing his wine.
I apologised when he came back and changed the subject to his production of a Roger Daltry album, and he seemed a bit less pissed off with me then.


Jerry Hall was very friendly and chatty when we were at a bar after i'd seen her in a play [ i was fluffy  drunk again] ...but I had a bit of a problem deciphering her strong Texas accent. I politely asked, after a longish chat  for her autograph on my theatre programme, and she asked me if 'I had a pain' a couple of times... which i thought was incredibly perceptive of her as i cut me arm open a few days earlier at work. As i rolled up my jacket and showed her my wound  to her surprised, dismayed horror, one of her big minders whispered in my ear 'She said have you  got a PEN !!'
I slunk off quickly back to my table  after getting the signature..quite embarassed.


I cheesed off Murray Walker after he heard my loud, bad  impression of him, whilst we were  walking about  after a Brand's Hatch Grand Prix. My mates had said 'Do your Murray Walker'....they didn't tell me he was about 2 yards behind me!!
He looked at me witheringly and quite hatefully when i had looked behind after a few minutes of this over-the-top  mimic getting huge guffaws from my so-called buddies. LoL 



 Drank for hours into the early  with a mate and a couple of bar staff  with  Buster Bloodvessel and Bad Manners after a gig and he was a delight, and gracious and gregarious...unlike Pauline Black from The Selector who lectured me on smoking [ i asked her to autograph my cigarette packet which she refused] before trying to flog me a t-shirt. I declined.

Berni Wrightson told me off for having a grubby copy of Creepshow for him to sign...it was a second hand copy though. 
Howard Chaykin was earthy and funny and welcoming, but Bill Sienkiewicz was grumpy. Can all forgive these as comic con folk often have long flights etc.

Nicola Bryant [the gorgeous Peri from Dr Who] was at a sci-fi thingy signing at Wembley. I didn't know she was there until I asked this girl sitting behind a Dr Who stand how much the Rolykins Dalek was. When she said she wasn't sure as she was not serving, i felt myself blush heavily as it was Nicola. I said something awful like she was my pin-up Doc Who, which was true. we chatted for ages, and if i wasnt married, would have asked her for a drink. 
And she signed my Dalek.....for free, unlike some folk there, like Darth Maul [parks?] , who was charging a fortune for a scribble
