The passing of Mr Nimoy reminded me of his rather fine eyebrow acting in the promo for The Bangles ‘Going Down To Liverpool’ trying to get attention away from Ms Hoffs n friends – a hopeless task
Any other favourite cameos?
Pop video cameos

Patrcik Macnee popping up in Oasis “Don’t Look Back In Anger” was a surprise
(possibly a knowing reference to Eton-Hogg in Spinal Tap, but I may be over-thinking that one)
John Hurt in Paul McCartneys “Take It Away
Musician Cameos:
Labi Siffre in Madness “It Must Be Love” (although I didn’t know who Labi Siffre was at the time (or even that the song was a cover version))
but the most surprising/memorable from the early 80s would be Paul McCartney in Tracey Ullmans “They Don’t Know”
Neil Kinnock was in one of Tracey Ullman’s vids.
I think Frankie Howerd was in one with The Farm. And, more impressively they also got Bill Dean (Harry Cross)
Yes, Neil Kinnock was in TU’s My Girl. Sir Thumbs Aloft also popped up in her video for They Don’t Know.
Joe and Paul outta The Mighty Clash turned up in BAD’s Medicine Show vidhttp://youtu.be/BD2kWCfTcaU
Forgot about that – it was almost a “blink and you’ll miss it moment.
A certain Mr J Lydon pops up later on as well
Lulu’s in this dog of a hit.
Donald Sutherland in Cloudbursting…
