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

[jimmy two times]

I saw Brad Pitt and George Clooney in the bettuing shop on Lordship Lane. I think they were filming Oceans 14.

[Dotty]

I just ran past Paul McGann on Barry Road!

Wasn't Robbie Coltrane in that ED Mona Lisa scene with Bob Hoskins? Presumably he was in East Dulwich for a few days too. Around 1984?

[kittenheels]

I'm pretty sure I stood next to newsreader Huw Edwards and his very polite children in Hope & Greenwood on Sunday.

[ralphation]

I was on a winning quiz team with Simon from TV's Trev and Simon at Dulwich Cricket Club a few weeks ago.

As if that wasn't thrilling enough, the quiz was hosted by the bloke from "Josse's Giants."

Our edge came because of my grilfriend's expert knowledge of magazine covers and because Simon remembered the Josse from their time on the 80's alternative comedy scene. Josse had a bit of a left-wing act which allowed us to take some very educated guesses at some of the more politicised questions.

Was anything funnier than "World of the Strange" and "Swing Your Pants"? I doubt it.

Given the political nature of the last few days does Maggie Thatcher still live off the A205? If she does, has anyone ever seen her?

[Michael Palaeologus]

No. I dont think she ever did. The house was given to her but that gated estate is still, well, an estate - so the Thatchers lived elsewhere.

[Rockets]

Are you sure they never lived there as I visited one of the houses on the estate many years ago and had my vehicle very carefully checked for bombs etc by some very serious looking and thorough police? No sign of Maggie though. The person I visited in the house said Maggie was a resident and that as a result their lives were a daily routine of armed police and searches everytime they went in and out. It was a long time ago though.

[SimonM]

Denis spent a few nights there, allegedly, because he enjoyed the adjoining golf club: but TBW not even once.

[felt-tip]

saw Phil Greening (ex England hooker) walking his dog on LL

[Gimme]

Jon Pienaar - BBC political correspondent lives near LL. While watching constant election coverage the other day, spotted him on TV in the best position outside the Cabinet Office waiting for the negotiators to rush out and say nothing. What a thankless job that was. Hope he's recovering now its all over!!!

[capt_birdseye]

Bizarrely, the film director Paul Greengrass was on the corner of Blackwater Street and Melbourne Grove yesterday at about 6pm.

[womanofdulwich]

Harriet Harmen was in Sainsburys this afternoon-I guess she will have a bit more time to go there now.

[donra21]

Coming bit late to this but yes have also seen Linda Barker off Changing Rooms, Tracey off Corrie, and Lesley Sharpe - she was buying something from the Butchers van on Northcross...

[jimmyraj]

Paul McGann in Peckham Rye Park last week.

[Claire35]

Jo Brand shopping in the big Sainsbury's. It was like realising your teacher lives a real life. Shamefully, I stared at her...I think she must have developed coping strategies for this kind of behaviour.

Once upon a time (not in ED)I found myself gawping at Paul McCartney taking a morning stroll across Regents Park.....he actually said good morning..waaahhhh!

[bloonoo]

Jo brand was at the dulwich park festival on sunday with all her family in tow!

[NunheadGirl]

Yes I saw Jo at the DP festival too, whilst watching the excellent magic show.

[jaybee82]

Saw Jason Statham buying fags in the Dog about 6 months ago...

[Jah Lush]

James Nesbitt at Si Mangia on Sunday afternoon. It's the same old faces all the time around here isn't it? Seen 'em all I have.

[littleEDfamily]

Good spotting this week and a half - goes without saying, James Nesbitt in Herne Hill, Kate thornton having her kids party at Dulwich Cafe (guy from Celeb Juice, Tamsin Outhwaite examples of other show type people in attendance). Jo Brand today making a right hand turn at Dulwich Library and getting beeped at by another driver whom she had displeased.....

[HonaloochieB]

I once was convinced I spotted Roland Gift out of The Fine Young Cannibals sitting outside the Black Cherry.

I copped the look of him on the passing-by of the upper deck of a 176 bus one evening.

I was informed by certain posters on here that it was likely as not a barman from the establishment, and not in fact Gift, who was last heard from horse-riding in New Zealand.

That's the trouble with this place, you supply good information and people just get all up in your face with so-called 'facts' an' stuff.

Not one o' them m*fos questioned why former Fine Young Cannibal Roland Gift might be working in a south London bar.

But that's OK, on the lightest of consideration, it's not like the world's awaiting a FYC reunion tour

Perhaps not even FYC are awaiting that eventuality.

[HonaloochieB]

Although now I think of it, if FYC reform, put me down for a couple of tickets.

And I offer that despite Roland Gift's execrable performance as South London gangster Johnny Edge in the film 'Scandal'.

I promise not to dwell on that.

Too much.

Not for too long.

[cate]

Kate Thornton ? Jo Brand, yada yada yada. Don't forget your autograph books. This is London. Lots of people who act and some that don't live here. They have to live somewhere. Bet you all read Heat/OK/Hello.
