Slightly losing the plot watching this old Arena on Ken Dodd on BBC4, because I swear that’s a pile of #DoctorWho Target novelisations at the end there but the resolution’s too low for me to properly make them out.

I’m right though, ain’t I?

I think you win this one. Front runner so far, at the very least

Numbers 1, 3 & 4 of mine, plus presumably the quoted tweet of Steve’s, and kinda my brother’s encounter (work experience week, same basic thing) are all equally workcheaty, so no shame here!

Wait what, Jon Pertwee was sat, in Bessie, in a LIFT?

Tbf we did use to have a ginormous car-sized one at Pebble Mill, so it’s not entirely unpossible.

I need to hear more of this tale

Otherwise totally super! 👍

Love this podcast and both of its fine, fine hosts but loling at its declaration that 1990’s Knightmare coincided with “the early days” of bluescreen chromakey being used at the BBC.

Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

…who knew how to summon assistance and get it going again. But he didn’t for some time, as despite not knowing who Katy was (imagine!) he was so fascinated by her he didn’t want to interrupt.

Quite a few famous politicians, but I will never beat the experience of *stuck* in a lift with lovely Katy Manning.

Beloved, friend and I had seen her one-woman Bette Davis show in Hampstead, walked with her to the station and it jammed.
One other person was in the lift: a local…

I’ve been in a lift with:
- Peter Davison
- David Troughton
- Colin Baker
- Hacker T Dog*

Who’s the best famous person you’ve been in a lift with?
