At one stage my job involved being at TV AM once a week for the morning broadcast.
After the morning show they had a full fry up in the canteen.
As a guest I ate free, moreover anyine who ate with was classed as "hosting" so everyone from Anne Diamond to Timmy Mallet to the tech crew joined me for full breakfast. Afterwards "Milton" (Richard) Keyes asked what I thought of the meal. I told him it was OK but a true fry up should include Black Pudding. This was passed to the Chef and from then on Black Pudding was included whenever I was there.
I worked for a company that supplied the office furniture to Dalziel and Pascoe (detective series). We had to assemble the furniture and place it according to plan. We did "meet" a few of the performers (I hesitate to use the word "stars") and funnily enough, the only one I really remember is the delightful Jennifer James. The reason I remember her? Well, not only was she a looker, she was polite and funny too. On site was a double decker bus where the downstairs was kitchen and a hatch, the upstairs was seating. I got my breakfast (almost the same as @Robmac put on his "menu"! I went upstairs and the only place left to sit was with Jennifer and another actress. She actually motioned me to sit!
We had a good old chat about the program, which I had never seen and this was the third series, and she asked what I did. I told her that I was installing the office set and she seemed interested. Great 40 minutes, until she was called for makeup. So Robmacs' menu is one of the two memories I have of that two day stint in the world of the "dahlings".
