I’m guessing Jezza Hunt
You are right, HK, despite him being a local MP and an occasional visitor to my place of work, I have never found myself in his presence.

Stu’s fake is Tony Hart. Badger: it’s Adam Ant. Nope. He was doing a week of pre tour rehearsals in the biggest room in the rehearsal studios my band used in the cheap off peak slots. Shorter than I’d expected.

Correct! I had Christmas dinner at Scott Mills’ place once because he was seeing my other half’s best friend at the time. I’m very dull but I know some well connected people.

3 no's. Tom Baker was most definitely real, although at the time a very little me thought he was Doctor Who (and I think I was more excited about meeting K9).

Jeremy Guscott Sharron Davies Scott Mills Tony Hadley Martin Kemp Tony Hadley.
Not Tony, but Martin. Tony came to talk about his solo stuff post-Spandau Ballet. I worked at a radio station and these were all people who were interviewed, except Sharron, who helped out at an event and Scott, who worked there. I have to say, he was great to work with - we did lots and lots of laughing.

Timothy West walked past me in the street when he was in a play run at Bristol Old Vic. Saw George Melly on exactly the same street.
Anyway … AutumnLeaves - Lesley Garratt
