Soho celebrity spots 2: From Sykes to Littlewood...

Innovation A couple of weeks ago, I posted an entry about Spots - the new celebrity identifying game that is the talk of Incisive Media's business IT titles. Well, production desk head honcho Simon Turner seems mildly obsessed with it, anyway.

Spots since mid-afternoon, 30 January

  • 4/2/08 - Radio and other stuff's Edith Bowman
  • 5/2/08 - Hellboy Ron Perlman
  • 6/2/08 - Armstrong and Miller's Alexander Armstrong
  • 8/2/08 - Armstrong and Miller's Alexander Armstrong
  • 8/2/08 - Big Brother Celebrity Hijack winner John Loughton

Who keeps spotting Big Brother 'stars'? I think we should be told...

1. You are
2. Thanks, Simon - change made
3. No idea? Little Mo?
4. Err, Bryan Glick...

Napalm Death.

They weren't in Soho but underneath. On the tube. Shane and Barney during commuter rush hour. Lovely boys.

Does that count.
