Aw, bless! Approachable celebs for the win.

Yup! Both David and Peter are really nice. (There's a Who connection with Peter, too: his wife Myra was a Tom Baker-era baddie, Lady Adrasta in The Creature from the Pit. And they take in rescue dogs.)

I thought it would amuse!
I really only twigged who it was when one of the waitresses said she'd been down to Stratford to see him in Hamlet! It was funny. He's very good-natured, and looks alarmingly young: he's, what, 39-40, but looks about 25! We spoke to him at the counter, and again just before he left. He had found a private corner with his Walkman/iPod on, so we didn't disturb him while he was having a quiet snack. He was just back up for a home-break, not for work.
