Chris Bonnington, Roger Bannister, Dirk Bogarde, Will Self and, most importantly of all, Hugh Dennis.
The year or two above me were a talented bunch of bastards too. Alex Garland, Thomas Adès, China Miéville and Nick Harkaway (that's his nom de plume anyway, he was plain old Nick Cornwall when I knew him, but then noms de plume run in the family). Tristram Hunt was in the year below.
I try to forget about the fact Paul Dacre went there too.
Pre-fame, I'd guess. Didn't know him that well at school. He was a footballist who hung out with the AmDram posse. I was a boatie muso. I did see an early 'experimental' play he co-wrote. All I can say is he was keeping his talents well hidden at that time.
