Can you help me?

He’s older, late sixties, early seventies. Tall, white, slim, glasses, white/gray hair. Very well spoken/posh. I’m not 100% about whether he’s a journalist/broadcaster or an actor. Nothing obvious on Google..... a bit vague I know but if Mumsnet can find someone’s ring in Archway I am sure it can help me identify this guy!

MustBe this seems to be the thread of the non readers! 😂

I’ve met absolutely tonnes of properly famous people through work although I can’t divulge anything as it breaches their confidentiality..... BORING. (I will say Stanley Tucci and his wife are properly wonderful humans).

I once followed Tom Conti around my local Waitrose (not on purpose, it's only got 3 aisles and everyone follows the unofficial one-way system).

I wonder if M Whitehall is used to people recognising him now after Jack bringing him onto television.

I was at a garden centre recently and said to my friend that there was a famous person here but I couldn’t work out where from. I thought maybe a soap. When she see her, she said ‘that’s Brenda who used to work with us!’

Grin something similar happened to me when I once saw my dentist in Halfords!

I came on here just to say Jack Whitehall’s dad or Larry Lamb!

Cookit · 03/01/2020 07:44

I saw Lenny Henry in Waitrose once.

kakak · 03/01/2020 17:28

Larry Lamb?

carybaz · 03/01/2020 17:33

If it's John Humphrys give him a head-butt from me.

mummy3yearold · 03/01/2020 17:34

Jon Snow? I saw him once at Southampton airport.

Elderflower14 · 03/01/2020 17:35

It was Jack Whitehall's Dad...

SploshMeBackwards · 03/01/2020 17:40

steelyjan · 03/01/2020 17:41

DaveTheDesigner · 03/01/2020 17:42

Lives round the corner from me. See him regularly. Switched on the Putney Xmas lights 🤓

Oh I like Michael Whitehall, he sometimes comes across as a bit of an oldie faffer, but he is a clever guy really, and quite amusing.
