    I'd heard John Simm lived nearby, wicked!

    Charlie Brooker apparently lives up near Archway/Highgate.

    Oh, and also - you know the start of Peepshow where they look in the electrical shop's window and they're on all the TVs? We were at the Italian Deli which is now where that shop used to be and who was also sitting there but Superhands from Peepshow! Does he hang out there, hoping to be recognised? It worked!

    Lots of Peep Show was filmed around here. Some of it in Woody's I think.

    Definately in Woody's, we saw some the other night. Quite amusing, but unfortunately funnier than the actual sketch in question. I find them a bit hit and miss. Excellent when it works, complete student dribble when it doesn't.

    IMHO = in my humble opinion

    sorry!

    Who was buying a takeaway at CATS the other evening ... but the King of Scotland himself James MacAvoy!

    Maybe we need a seperate thread for Hollywood stars ;)

    He lives off Blackstock Road down one of the roads that leads down to Highbury. I only know this because I once shared a cab back to norf London with him from Milton Keynes (true but long and dull story).
  • Does he still live there? My sister is a big fan.

    The McAvoy Duffs left Hanley Road and moved to Crouch End a few years back, we've lost Simon Pegg to LA too.<br><br>Does Stroud Green have any Hollywood A-list stars left?<br>

  • Surely some mistake,<br><br>Should it not be 'Why is everybody on this forum so obsessed with pathetic TV celebs?'<br>
  • Well James McAvoy was on the 91 from Crouchie the other day and he got off at the Hanley Rd stop so he maybe he's renting it out now.

  • I saw Ivan Massow up east yesterday - I think he was checking me out.

  • Thought Simon Pegg moved out to Totteridge or something like that?
  • As of about a year ago Simon Pegg was still living in Blythwood Road. I know this as I hit his wife's (parked) car in the snow... . Mrs Pegg was lovely about it, mind.

  • Oh I think I had a look at his house, when I was house hunting last year.  I knew it was someone show bizzy, but didn't realise it was him.   Had a kind of cinema room with massive speakers and huge screen.  <div><br></div><div><br></div>
