I met Vic Reeves yesterday!

I spent all yesterday as an Extra in a short comedy film, which stars John Thompson (From The Fast Show, and other things I can't remember) Julie Hesmondhalgh (I think she was in Corrie for ages....I only know her from all the support she has given the Sophie Lancaster foundation over the years) and Vic Reeves.

Filming took place less than a minute from my house, so when I got the call last week, there was no way I was going to turn it down.

It was a great day, very long but the crew were fantastic and treated us very well.

I got to meet my absolute comedy hero Vic Reeves and I feel on top of the world.

The film is called Angel 2.0 and will be out later this year.

I've met Vic, met his mam too, she lives in walking distance from where I am.

Can't say my meeting with him was as exciting as yours though, just down the pub. Sounds like you had a cracking day. Envious.

Sounds like you had a good day
Though it's not always good to meet your heroes
I met Wayne gardener (1987 world 500cc champion) at last year's British Moto GP
I've always rated the guy.when he first started in the UK in 83 he was a typical down to earth Aussie
When I met him this time 30 year's on he turned out to be a right prick
Right up his own arse
On the plus side I also met randy mamola at same time
I thought he was a prick when he was racing .
He turns out to be a really nice bloke
Happy days regards fody

That's a right shame - Bikers are usually eally nice guys and down to earth.
I am/was a massive Carl Fogarty fan and we used to go to all his UK races. I never met him though, unfortunately

Ha ha! As the scenes we were filming were based in and outside a theatre, they had prop event posters on display outside ..... one was a picture of a sausage, advertising a Meat Auction, and loads of us couldn't resist quipping "Look at the size of that sausage"
