I wonder if Nasreen and Allison are still out there somewhere - I wonder if they remember this!

Nice to read this bit "Do you know... he seems even nicer in real life than he does on the series."

They had a really original idea! Cool stuff!

I wonder what we could come up with, trying to make a wish.

I never want to meet people in real life - it's the characters which capture my imagination - but good for them!

And Involvement too - I wonder if they're still fans?

Wasn't it great - they definitely deserved to win!

Hmmn... perhaps we could offer to clean their flats, sort out their laundry, have a good look round, plant a bug or two</strike, that sort of thing... *g*

The girls sound like they had a great time, and I love that they offered to do something in return, rather than just expecting someone to give up their time for them. I hope they still have happy memories of the day! Nice to see MS getting some good press for a change, too!

I think my favourite MS quote is one where he claimed his friends sometimes ring him up after interviews and accuse him of pretentiousness!

Bless him.

Top marks to them! I like the way they neatly sidestepped the usual fan/celeb type of interaction by shifting the focus to a humble task. Perhaps they're retired psychologists, now. :D

LOL--they wanted to wash his car? That's one of the more unique requests I've ever heard in a meet-the-celebrity contest.

I am the same way. There are few celebrities I've ever actually wanted to meet and none who played characters I really love. I want the characters, not the actors. (May have something to do with the fact that I have a theatre degree, so I was used to being behind the scenes in plays.)

I was intending to try for a course myself this year, but I've been offered a new job and financial practicalities dictate that I take it. On the upside, it is a job I'm really quite keen to do.

I took drama at school, but I've never been in a position to pursue it. I reckon that's where it comes from too, footlights work magic.

That's not to say actors can't be interesting people, or that I don't find interviews about technique or anecdotes about life on set interesting - but I don't know these people and their public persona is just another performance.

Unless you meet them privately or professionally, you don't meet 'them'. And even if you do meet them, they're not 'Doyle' - they just look like him - so I don't see the point.

Still, the girls seem to have had fun and you can't knock that.
