Do you include them on your Writers CV?

Sadly no. They often just say "Three Men and a Baby" in response to any question.
I was the penultimate person to cross the line at the end of live coverage of the 1998 London Marathon. Just prior to that you could see me in the background as Sue Barker interviewed race director, David Bedford. He's the guy that the 118 118 runners are based on.
I've also been seen in the crowd at the Millennium Stadium on Sky Sports. There was five of us who went to see the 2003 Division Three Play-off final between Lincoln City and Bournemouth and all five took up the screen shot for about 5-10 seconds.
One other football one was a regional documentary about Barry Fry and Peterborough United. There was an FA Cup tie against Wrexham and (I'm told) the camera showed my face full-screen - a shock for anyone I'm sure! Despite two repeats, I've always missed it coming in for the last 10 minutes. Grrr!

Oh that MUST be on YouTube somewhere. Show! Show!
Wasn't live TV the one with the dwarf weatherman bouncing on a trampoline? Or was that just another erotic dream?

It was indeed. Rusty Goff, I think he was called. He was certainly, as advertised, Britain's bounciest weatherman.

Not me.
Oh, yeah. Nor me.

Somehow I doubt it. I was on there in something like 1993/4? After paying their rent at Canary Wharf I don't think there was any budget left for keeping a videotape library of minor London stand-ups.
