Well blow me down and call me Doris Pipples – just seen Ian Brown out the Stone Roses in a non-speaking role in a Harry Potter film. IMDB confirms it.

The last time I had this feeling was when Gok Wan had a guest fashion consultant appear on one of his shows. She was smiley and lifestyle-TV-gushy-and-keen. It was Brix Smith ! Now known as Brix Smith Start.

My last example is NZ daytime TV a few years ago (perhaps 10). A large, bald British man was in exercise gear, promoting exercise regimes for the bigger-boned. His patter was as sharp and professional as anything you’d see on QVC. It was Buster Bloodvessel!
