Although its hard to spend a day there without seeing someone famous.
Last time I was here I saw Peter sissons getting off the train i was getting on to.

A few years ago I went to London with a friend and a couple of relatives to watch a recording of a QI episode (I can't remember why Sam wasn't with us, maybe she'd gone to visit her family). As we'd got there early we decided to go for a stroll, during which we saw either Boris Johnson or someone who was his spitting image pedalling along on his bike. Shortly after that we chanced upon an area next to the river which had been roped off and was being used as a filming location. There was even a notice saying that anyone walking past a certain point while the cameras were rolling would be in the background of the shot. Anyway, we spotted a grey-haired bloke in a beige raincoat apparently discussing the script with (presumably) the director; at first we thought it was Peter Falk as Columbo, but it turned out to be Dustin Hoffman filming "Last Chance Harvey".
Later, of course, we got to see Stephen Fry, Alan Davies, Jimmy Carr, Jo Brand and John Sergeant but they were on display in the studio so they probably don't count. I am visible in the audience in the episode as broadcast though, so technically that makes me a famous person.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
