I Am Bob
Sir Bob Geldof is on his way to give a lecture at a Make Poverty History event. By sheer bad luck, his driver forgets to pick him up and he gets stuck in a small motel somewhere in north England. As chance would have it, there is a look-a-like contest and no one believes he is the Bob Geldof. To make things worse, he is not the only Bob Geldof in the room.
