I watched Black Doves on Netflix and there was Keira Knightley in my mustard yellow scarf. I bought it from M&S about two years ago, which must have been about when it was filmed. I don't look very much like Keira Knightley at all, but now, in my head, every time I put my scarf on, I look exactly like her and am on a spy mission!

I have spotted my Ikea ceramic cactus collection on screen loads of times.

My Mum saw that Vera Duckworth or Hilda Ogden in Coronation Street had a Royal Albert tea set the same as her dinner service.
She never liked it anyway but that put the kibosh on it altogether . 😂

Was it a classic car?

Yes, a 1962 Ford Zodiac with the fins.

Not clothes but I have an Ikea pop art type print on my wall and I once saw it in Hollyoaks I think it was.

I also have the same framed poster on my wall as Rachel and Monica had in Friends but they had it first so that doesn't really count. I still think it's weird when I see it though.

Around 1992 Beth Jordache of Brookside had the same striped totally-of-the-moment Topshop cardigan as me.

I was the same age & also a lesbian so oh my goodness the excitement 😆

I have a denby dinner service that the King family have on emmerdale lol

Back near the millennium, I realised my newly decorated living room had the same wallpaper as Steve and Karen Macdonalds flat in Corrie.

Morto!

Vanessa Hudgens in a Netflix Christmas film wears a distinctive pair of M&S high heels I own. Presumably the manufacturer sold that style to other stores as I cant imagine the costume buyers frequented M&S

Ms Rachel has the same toy barn as my 3 year old daughter. Every time it's on TV she runs and double checks it hasn't been stolen. 😂

I just googled, what a beautiful car!

Pat Wicks had a duvet set that I had. It was from Sainsburys and it was very jolly. Needless to say it was relegated to the spare room before I became a "white bedlinen only" snob.

Carol the BBC morning weather presenter has a few M&S Ghost dresses I have. Although they are a few years old now so we shall see if they appear on telly this year. Also some vintage Pyrex I have appears on 1960s dramas occasionally. I had Cole and Son Woods Wallpaper for years and this was sometimes on Property Programmes and dramas.

I still have the same coat that Norma Major wore when John won the 1992 election.

Rowena191 · 20/01/2025 19:12

I've remembered a couple more - I had some light blue mugs from IKEA which were in the coffee shop on Pretty Little Liars and a yoga mat from John Lewis with a distinctive carry case that was on Big Little Lies .

Many years ago Jack Sugdans wife in Emmerdale (Sarah?) wearing same jumper that I had from Next.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 20/01/2025 19:19

AbFab featured in different episodes a large lava lamp and a Lapavoni coffee machine.
We've obviously made it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Loobyloo68 · 20/01/2025 19:20

Years ago I had a bar shaped like the front of a boat(God knows why), the same one was in jack and Vera's house in corrie😀

Was watching Jasmin Harman's show where she helps hoarders and was delighted to see her mum had the same Denby plates as my gran, brought back lovely memories of family dinners.

When we moved in to our last house the living room wallpaper was the same as Father Ted’s bathroom.

We had that wallpaper on our stairs when I was little, around 1973! The pink and orange circles one? 😂

Bananalanacake · 20/01/2025 19:23

Was trying to attach photo of plate.

Tony Blair had my living room curtains in the film The Queen.

BaronessBomburst · 20/01/2025 19:28

Gabby Logan presented some football show or other wearing my Bravissimo dress. I was very surprised to see her in it as I didn't have her down as a Bravissimo customer at all!

NormasArse · 20/01/2025 19:34

I had a Dolce & Gabanna dress that I saw Jane Horrocks wearing, in a film about (I think) a plane crash.

creamsnugjumper · 20/01/2025 19:38

Does it count if my dog breed gets everywhere!

We have a lamp from the 60s and it was in the series called "not going out"
