Ordinary Boys were quite popular already so that's Preston.

Maggot's in Goldie Looking Chain, very popular here in the UK.

Rula Lenska isnt Z list, she's been in Footballers Wives and Minder to name just two popular TV series. A well respected actress.

Dennis is a very well known basketball player.

Traci's been in Playboy, and Baywatch, and has worldwide fame.

Dead or Alive's Pete Burns is popular due to his worldwide famous 80's hit 'You Spin Me Right Round'.

Few here had heard of his band, and their apparent popularity in no way even suggests that anyone knew who he was.

Slightly popular, at best. And again, nobody would've made the connection unless we'd been told.

She was in three episodes of Minder, in 1982, 1985 and 1989. Hardly a highpoint of her career, or one that any of the CBB audience are likely to recognise her from, either. A little research always helps.

Well known to people that like basketball, and Americans. That's a tiny fraction of the UK population, at best.

Strangely enough, not everyone reads pornographic magazines or watches cheesy US tv shows.

Dead Or Alive have had seven UK hit singles (not counting past or future re-issues).
