Unusual or tenuous claim to fame
One of my earliest memories and still vivid to this day. I would've been 4 or 5 and was out with my Nan who lived in Peckham. We were out possibly shopping and I can remember an old Bedford ambulance constantly driving around the local streets at a fair pace with it's bell ringing ( no sirens or blue lights in those days ). Although it left a strong memory with me, I never thought about it again. Come the late 90s I bought the DVD box set of the Sweeney and what do you think featured heavily in the first episode? An old Bedford ambulance used in a hold up on a security van which finished up on an old bomb site in Buller Road Peckham, later to have the Yellow Brick Estate built on it. As much as I looked for my 4 year old self in the episode, I could not count myself as an extra ☹️
Over to you guys, beat that one

I beat Haile Gebrselassie in the London Marathon. Admittedly he only ran half of it and then pulled out but I finished. He didn’t so I, and a few thousand others, beat him.
So hah to his World Records and Gold Medals.8 -

My nose and right hand were once in a 999 reconstruction. The rest of me was far too repugnant to be on screen and I didn't get to meet Michael Buerk.0

I was at 2 or 3 of the real things that happened before the writers wrote them into the Inbetweeners. And my daughter was in the film for 3 seconds at the start.I met and drank all night with the Mighty Boosh as they’re friends of friends and said I’d come to their next show to Noel. Didn’t bother they then got massive.0

My left knee was on Michael Aspels Six O'clock show. Danny Baker was doing a piece about shopping or something and they wanted some of the staff @Allders Bromley to stand in Haberdashery dept and pad out the crowd whilst a camera man passed through at knee height. Of course I had to repeat my part on many occasions thereafter at the Oscars, Emmys and Baftas etc but eventually the fame and adulation became tiresome.1
