And Les Dennis and Bobby Davro! (Or that might just be me.)

Ah, I see that likeness too!

Well, back to normal this week with four famous people I've never heard of.

Surely you've heard of Val McDermid, the crime author, and "Chariots" Offiah.

My wife tells me now, she knows of the author, but Offiah, Offiah pants of fire, no. If he's an athlete, that would explain it as I never follow track and field events.

Rugby actually, I think they mentioned it on this evening's programme.
Did you see Pointless? New series, and the first one with someone else taking over Osman's role now he's left...

Well, there you go - I don't watch rugby either, and always fast forward the faux interest in their lives at the start. Get to the nitty-gritty!! ?

And, I gave up watching Pointless a long time ago, as I got fed up with Armstrong's patronising and arse crawling attitude.

Val McDermid has benn on HIGNFY a few times.

Honestly don't remember her.

Questions? What questions.........I was spellbound watching Rebecca on House of Games, to see if they would fall out of that dress.

OK Herc. 2 people I've never heard of and 2 people whose names I know but I don't know what for.

Oh god. I used to write actual fan letters to Toby when I was little. He wrote back too. What a gent.
Now I'm going to have to watch it.

Kerry's on lots of comedy stuff! (And the sister of Russell Howard.)

What does he do/did he do?

He was a children's TV presenter in the 90s. He was in the Broom Cupboard after Andi Peters. (That may or may not make any sense to you.)
I've no idea what he does now.

I know three of them. Kerry was in the excellent "Witless" awhile ago, Joe Suggs won Strictly I think when I used to watch it, Toby I vaguely remember seeing on something, but other woman, I have no idea.

Suggs won Strictly but he was hardly a Celebrity then.
