Tube encounter

Many years ago (1995) I appeared on a one-series wonder Quiz Show called Raise the Roof - part of the process involves filling in contestant forms and the researchers often keep these forms after the show has ended for future use. About 4 years later, I went out with a friend one night and after consuming far too much alcohol, I decided to stay at her flat, rather than take the more complicated route home. Consequently, the next morning, I took a totally different route into work, involving a different Tube line, the District Line from East Putney. I was sitting on the Tube, when I looked up to notice one of the researchers who previously worked on Raise the Roof. We had (what I thought) that brief - don't I know you? - moment as we both looked at each other. However, the researcher then ruffled through the pile of papers he was looking through and said, "I don't believe this. I'm recruiting contestants for a new quiz show and I picked up all the old Raise the Roof contestants last night." And he pulled out my application form from the original programme from 4 years before. Totally amazing - I didn't get onto that particular show, but it still freaks me out to this day.
