Craig Charles nicked my lighter in Oscar's nightclub in Plymouth in roughly 1991. I wouldn't have minded but it was my Dad's Zippo (RAOC, 7th/11th Armoured Brigade). He asked for a light, wandered off with it and then vanished, whilst I was distracted ahem.

Chris Barrie's (Rimmer in Red Dwarf) old man was in the (British) army and I remember my parents mentioning they met him at one of their mess dinners.
