eight actors in Britain: 'the only education worth having' edition
So I happened to turn on PBS to find an episode of DCI Banks on, and who should run up - and spill coffee all over the main character - but Samuel Anderson as a new detective constable joining the unit!
Then Vicious aired after that - not the episode Sam Barnett is in, but there was still a millisecond of him in the behind-the-scenes featurette that followed the episode.
I decided then to watch the beginning of one of the DVDs I got from the library: the second season of Silk (the first season aired ages back on PBS; I honestly can't remember if they ever got around to airing the second season in my neck of the woods). I couldn't really remember much about the show, except liking Maxine Peake, but I watched the first episode contentedly enough. And then, in the preview for the next episode, a split second of a familiar face: Jamie Parker! It seems to me that at some point I must have been informed that he was in an episode of Silk, but this is not information that I could have previously retrieved without seeing him in the preview.
That's nearly half the set in one evening - and all of them accidents!
(Also, Indira Varma is obviously not a History Boy, but I didn't know she was in the second season of Silk either, yet there she was as well.)
