Most famous person I've seen in ED so far....

[Pickle]

Kate walks past my house nearly every day, she is ALWAYS on her phone. I've started wondering whether she's actually talking to someone, or just uses it as a cunning ploy to avoid having to talk to people!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Who the hell is Kate Ford?

[absentminded]

Tracy Barlow from Corrie.

[Melodyb]

Steve I agree with Clare... hang in there

It's all new to me too having just moved around here after 26 years in North London (no booing please!) but it's good for finding out what's going on and has been really helpful in finding somewhere to live.

oh, and saw Emily Joyce in Sainsburys - she is one of those intriguing natural beauties... well I think so (google comes in handy at this point!)

[EDOldie]

A few weeks ago I saw Alexa Chung and Alex from the Articulated Monkeys in Dullish Villish (have I done this one before?)

[AD]

I have seen Gavin & Stacey's Staecy loads of times now, Sophie from Peep show a few times, Phil Mitchell's bird from Eastenders in Sainsbury's and also Tobias Menzies in Cafe Nero, Menzies is in Spooks, was in Casino Royale, Rome ect... and I had not seen him before.

I am still waiting to see Mr Nesbitt & Ms Brand !

[minder]

Don't watch Eastenders but my inlaws do so I recognised Shirley from Eastenders in Sainsburys, Dog Kennel a few times.

Also spotted James Nesbitt about a hundred times around the place, also Lorraine Chase in and around Dul Village. Also Jenny Eclair in Barclays Bank in Camberwell about a year ago.

Couple of weeks ago was coming out of Brixton tube and spotted a well-known actor but can't think of his name.

I'm sure he's been in Eastenders and other programmes for around 20 odd years. If I was shown a picture with a name I could place him. He looks like the actor in Emmerdale whos been around for years and wears the black choker.

[teetmouther]

Pretty sure he doesn't live in the area but queued behind John McCririck in Londis today buying beer and pancakes, informing the shopkeeper that his facial hair was "a huge turn-on for birds" and that he would "s**t on the doorstep" of shopkeepers who didn't respect him. What a guy.

[littleEDfamily]

The John McCririck (or however it is spelled) post made me laugh. You wouldn't expect anything less. How disappointing if he'd have actually been well-mannered.

We seem to do well round these 'ere parts for 'serious' actors, comediennes etc, but what about pure 'Heat' type 'celebs'? You know trashy glam types - or is ED not that kind of 'hood?

[ClareC]

Saw the cheeky girls in the Dog a couple of years back.. Is that'heat worthy?

[littleEDfamily]

The Cheeky Girls! Pure reality TV gold. Definitely Heat worthy and definitely the best celeb spot so far in my book.

That could only be trumped by Kerry Katona - long shot, but anyone seen her - do you think she could be enticed here with an Iceland platter?

Kate Ford is indeed a genuinely lovely girl. And she's not always on the phone. She's always happy, down to earth and makes a good cup of tea ;-)

[MrBen]

What's fame anyway? I'm less impressed the older I get.

Thanks to the fantastic but super tired nurse who stitched up my missus at Kings A&E the other night though.

Our society is like, warped, man.

[Michael Palaeologus]

I saw Mr Ben on Lordship Lane the other day. I took him home. To help me remember...

[AdaDoom]

I saw Patrick Baladi (from The Office and Mistresses) in Dulwich Library a while back, refusing loudly to pay the fines on his overdue DVDs.

[ultrauk]

Jo Brand shopping in Sainsburys Local on Lordship Lane & again pushing a Pram in Dulwich Park. Lee Ryan from boyband BLUE drinking in the Greyhound pub in Dulwich Village.:)-D

[Jeremy]

I think we need a common consensus on the definition of "famous" here...

[The Nappy Lady]

Have seen the actor Adrian Lester a few times, once in Locale when it was still the Green - he's lovely and very handsome.

James Nesbitt at Browell Lido a few times over the years.

The interior designer off Changing Rooms who used to say "I think it looks really, really nice..."...what was her name? Not sure she really counts as famous.

Oh, and Alex Kingston used to live on Goose Green don't you know, pre Hollywood days of course.

[MrBen]

I used to work with Gerrard Butler after my Dad employed him as a trainee lawyer. Gerry and I used to sneak out for a pint at the Conan Doyle and talk about girls. He left to take up acting at 28 and I didn't see him untill 5 years later when his chiselled torso graced a huge billboard on Times Square. The whole thing is a bunch of bollocks. But I'm secretly hoping for a party invite in LA sometime soon. Unlikely I think...

[tinkerbell]

i literally can't believe no one has mentioned Rob da Bank - often spotted in Sainsburys or pushing a pram - also Timothy Spall often spotted at the Palmerston plus Erin O'Connor in Black Cherry (lives on or near Camberwell Grove I believe.....)

[nellie99]

I saw Jenny Eclair and her daughter in Sainsbury's, DKH today. Of course, it was the highlight of my day :))

[Panda]

Saw Kate Ford on Lordship Lane last week!

[littleEDfamily]

James Nesbitt AGAIN today. I think he's stalking me. I may have to tell him I am holding out for Alan Davies.

[acaena]

i saw bob hoskins when they were making the long good friday the first couple of

minnutes were shot in landells rd and the alleyway where the music shop is opposite

darrel rd on upland rd near where the old police station used to be in the 70;s

if this qualifies

[SimonM]

I think you mean "Mona Lisa" not "The Long Good friday"?
