Today’s photo is one of two showbiz encounters I had while wandering the streets of Chiswick this lunch time. I got quite excited when I saw what was quite obviously a film crew and their vehicles parked in the road next to the office – though the excitement soon drifted away when I rounded the corner. They appear to be filming a new ‘Carphone Warehouse’ advert in our local branch. Well, either that or they’ve commissioned a spin-off series from Ricky Gervais’s ‘Extras’ which follows the exploits of Barry from Eastenders and his job in said phone shop. I suspect it is the former…
The second showbiz encounter was just down the road, where I walked past grumpy-faced, BBC-snubbing presenter Adrian Chiles, who was having lunch with a mystery blonde lady. I considered trying to take a photo using my patented “Pretend to be on the phone while sneakily pressing the button” move (as seen in my first Sarah Beeny photo, before I plucked up the courage to talk to her) but decided I didn’t actually like Chiles enough to bother! Sorry Adrian…
