  5. Oh the fame of it! Lord Leveson will certainly be name dropping and making sure the press pick up his moment of fame with your coat.

  6. Danny Baker used to run a regular phone-in feature called Claim To Fame, of which this is a nicely exalted example. My favourite from Danny Baker's show was "My cousin used to clean the car of Ticker Boyce's* dentist"

    * Ronnie "Ticker" Boyce used to be West Ham's midfield runabout

  9. Once while doing a tour of Buckingham Palace, I wandered off and was met by the Queen in a corridor and she said five words I will always remember.

    'Get out my goddam way!'
