Somewhere, Darren is probably looking down on all this from above and 
quietly chuckling to himself about how wrong we all are...

This reminds me of the X-Files episode where Mulder gets inside Area 51 
as a pizza delivery guy.

(Although I may be mixing the Area 51 X-Files episode, with a tv ad...)

Pizza delivery guys, yes. But taxi-drivers, no. At least, not here in
London. Ask a black-cab driver and he'll probably answer:
"I 'ad that Matt Brittin [MD Google UK] in my cab last week. 	...so what
do you think of Spurs chances this season? ....
Coalition Government!!? Bloody politicians. Shoot the lot of 'em, I
would....
And when are we gonna get a fine day? .....
[etc etc, until]

You might be mixing the Area 51 episode with "Bad Blood" - the episode 
with the vampires.

Yeah, the actor who played the character he switched places with was 
Michael McKean IIRC.

"Bad Blood", though, involved a pizza delivery guy who was a vampire.  
His name, IIRC, was "Ronnie" (but I don't recall the actor's name and am 
too lazy to pull up IMDB and look).

Sorry about the confusion guys, the pizza delivery guy getting inside 
area 51 was an ad.  It's been a while.

Mine's in the oven now. Unfortunately, it's a Dr Otker pizza.
