David Ian (was David Lane at Ilford CHS, but had to change his name due to an Equity clash when started out acting) is a top London theatre producer - works a lot with Andrew Lloyd Webber. That's as good as it gets, I think.

Can't claim to be clever or famously related. We were, still are and always will be numb nuts.
Born in Bow, raised in Bow, proud of it. Hic!!
It’s spelt “hick” mate and we’re proud of it.

Primary school - Cammy Fraser. Went on to play for Hearts, Dundee, Rangers (before they were liquidated) and Raith Rovers
Downside - even at the age of 10/11 he was so much better than anyone else it was clear that my dreams of being a professional footballer were doomed.
Upside - His skills enabled us to make a clean sweep of all the trophies in Dundee schools football.

Les Sealey, all through High School.
Likewise.
Paul Ross is older than me and Jonathan Ross is younger but my peer was Simon Ross who moved into TV production rather than presenting.

Not class but Curtis Davies, Andros Townsend and Ex-O Lee Butcher were there when I was but in different years. Patrick Agyemang left before I got there.
Also, superstar sh*t agent and brother of Harry, Charlie Kane went there too.

The Rt Hon Jacqui Smith, ex Home Secretary was sat next to me from Primary through to A Levels.
She actually said she would be Prime Minister one day, and she got fairly close until the expenses fiddles and porn watching hubby got in the way. She was a good socialist in her school days but wasted it all.

Don't forget Bobby Crush. I had a couple of his old reference books.
