Two strangers in a room with a UFO ring tone.....and more !

Picture this.
I am in a large room reviewing a pre-production Range Rover Evoque with 50+ people.
It is a very serious affair reviewing issues which need to be fixed before the next build phase. The room is big enough to house 15 cars and only for the auditor no one else speaks.
All mobiles should be switched off.
I have had UFO title music on my phone for many, many years and you guessed it, off it goes ! I quickly stuck my hand in my pocket to kill the tone and save any embarrassment - but it wasn't mine.....
By the time I looked around the room the person with the UFO ring tone had gone out of the room to answer the call.
Being focused on the audit I didn't notice the person return so I was none the wiser to whoever shares my passion for the show....until it went off again.
I later managed to briefly chat to the chap with the UFO ring tone but this was only after my phone rang so he was just as keen as me to meet someone with a common interest.
 
It gets better.
On leaving the car plant we cross paths again, this time with more time to talk. The ring tone came up again in conversation but with an added twist to his story.
In the past while at his place of work the phone rang with UFO as the tone - One of his work colleges remarked on the tone and mentioned her dad worked on the show, thinking her dad was one of the many that would have worked on UFO during it's production he asked as what?  She replied 'He wore a white wig'.  
Her name is Serina.
 
That just blew me away - first to find someone with a UFO ring tone and the second to find he had worked and still works with Ed's daughter.
 
What a day.
 
Regards
Keith
