I was once on a cruise on the Oriana and the comedian and "The Office" writer Stephen Merchant happened to be on at the same time.He was with his parents and I found him to be an extremely affable guy. We spent some time in the Casino together.
One day, we were sunning ourselves at the aft of the ship and he was writing notes for his latest series which turned out to be the very funny "Extras". A sudden gust of wind caught the papers and they blew over the back of the ship!
"Ah well, start again" he said.
Considering the show was a brilliant success, he must have had either a photographic memory or he indeed started from scratch (though I suspect it was tongue-in-cheek).
Since then, his career has gone from strength to strength and become a performer in his own right.
