It is scientifically proven that The Actor Kevin Eldon™ appears in every British comedy ever made, including those filmed before he'd been born. If you don't see him, that just means he's hiding behind the sofa. Or behind that tree over there. Or maybe he's in another room upstairs (where he could also be appearing in another sitcom at the same time).
More often than not, however, he actually pops up on the screen, invariably prompting me to exclaim, "Oh hey, I didn't know Kevin Eldon was in this!", to no one in particular. Because there's usually no one else there. Also, I exclaim it in Russian. Because I am one.
Anyway, I'm growing tired of exclaiming the aforementioned exclamation all by myself, and instead of finding someone else to exclaim it with me (a girlfriend, perhaps, or a well-trained parrot), I decided to turn to the internet in search of like-minded individuals sharing my admittedly uncommon hobby. So let's spot Kevin Eldon together and share our experiences of Eldon sightings in this thread!
There is, however, one rule that must be followed (I have no way of enforcing it, of course, but what is fun if you're not playing by the rules?): A legitimate Eldon sighting must be unexpected. In other words, if you're re-watching Big Train for the umpteenth time and see Kevin Eldon, do not report it in this thread. Likewise, if you're watching some show for the first time, but you are aware of Kevin's involvement in the programme beforehand, do not report. On the other hand, whenever you see The Actor Kevin Eldon on the screen and exclaim (or think to yourself, I'm not here to judge), "I didn't know Kevin Eldon was in this!", remember that there are people you can share this wonderful experience with. In this thread.
Happy Eldonspotting!
P.S. To get us started, I spotted Kevin Eldon in the second series of Utopia just last week. It's not even a comedy! How does he find the time?
