Have you met anyone famous?
As the title says...
I ask because on Thursday I'm hopefully going to meet Tony Robinson at a book signing.
I know you identify him now as the bloke who does history/archeology shows but when I was a kid he was far more famous for his kids TV/entertainment work with classics like [i]Maid Marian and Her Merry Men[/i], [i]Blood and Honey, Fat Tulip's Garden[/i], [i]Odysseus[/i] and many others.
Having said that I have watched the later programmes too. I love his enthusiasm
I wrote to him a coupla times (and got relplies), as far back as 1992, so looking forward to this

Well, I did meet Tony Robinson - he signed his book "The Worst Jobs In History" for me and I had a little chat with him and shook his hand He remembered I'd written to him (when I said who I was) and said I was probably the only person in the world to remember his interactive puzzle video "Qi: The Quest" (1993)! But it was a pleasure to meet one of my heroes, he was a really nice guy

And yes, Tony Robinson is first and foremost Baldrick!!! I think people just dont make the connection these days... I must confess to going out of my way to watch all his history documentaries now

I remember him as Baldrick (just about) - maybe I was too young for Blackadder then.
I remember stuff like "Blood and Honey" "Odysseus" and "Maid Marian" in the 80's/90's best - they were ace
Do you remember them, Laev?
Also I loved his excellent cartoon series from the 90's (series about cartoons, not a cartoon) "Stay Tooned!" *groan*

About meeting famous people:
-I met Philip Kwok, Mark Dacascos, Samuel le Bihan and Vincent Cassel while they were shooting Brotherhood of the Wolf.
-I met Maggie Cheung by accident (She bumped into me, really :w00t: ).
-I met Quentin Tarantino (but I didn't understand a word of what he said, the guy talks wayyyy too fast).
-I met Luc Besson.
-I met Billy Boyd (Pippin from LOTR). Very nice guy but hard to understand (weird scottish accent).
That's about it, really.

Hey wolf!
What was your name on the previous forum?
The project is doing well. We're still in major negotiations with a contract we are trying to brake. Lots of boring lawyer stuff. :sick:
But apart from that it is great when you can concentrate on the actual content of the film.
