Oh dear, he's just gone down a wee bit in my estimation. Not much, he's a quality actor. Unlike those "red" players who are just acting at being professional footballers.

The sign on the stand is odd. United can't be a religion for every Manc. Why do they do this? It's as bad as Chelsea - Pride of London. Well of course they're not. Try telling that to supporters of Spurs, Arsenal, Brentford, West Ham, Fulham, QPR, Charlton et al. Football is weird.

I very much doubt fans of Brentford, West Ham, Fulham, QPR, Charlton et al would seriously claim to be the pride of London. Fans of Arsenal and Spurs might do, but they'd be struggling.

If an advertising agency was trying to sell London as an Olympic venue or tourist destination, or to attract a huge investment opportunity or whatever, they'd probably use Chelsea, as the most successful London team in the modern era. "Invest in London, home of Chelsea FC, two time European Champions".

So in that respect, Chelsea are the pride of London as far as football is concerned.

Maybe he was there supporting Leicester? In which case he is excused smile

Sticking to the football theme:-

The Corrie cast on location at Maine Road on 11th November 1967. City beat Leicester 6-0.




Left to right:-

Jerry Booth, Stan Ogden, Len Fairclough. Front:- Lucille Hewitt, Annie Walker.

I see non speaking Baldylocks has been featured in the background the last few episodes working at the knicker factory.

Why can't they give him a few lines, even if it's only "Anyone fancy a brew?".

£750 for a new website seems line a bargain, I thought Max might have been taking a few clandestine shots of sexy knicks for his own benefit biggrin

Big difference in pay between speaking and nonspeaking parts, apparently. Long term viewers may recall the black guy with the hat who was a Rovers' regular for years - but never said a word. Except perhaps 'rhubarb, rhubarb ' on lively New Year's Eve parties .

I think the "speaking" bit is called interacting with a cast member. My stepson had a part in Eastenders ages ago and he just had to look up at the appropriate time. Nothing else so the lower pay rate. If he had been required to utter even one word it was the higher rate.

You obviously missed the bit where Debbie gave him his job back and confessed to Nick and Leanne that she set the whole robbery up because she was broke.

Can't see how, the insurance company refused to pay out.

Magic money pot time again to fund the challenge to his conviction, plus quite the bonus finding obvious clues in the case files and a cold case specialist all in the same week and all quite local...

Sweepstake on how long before the conviction is quashed?
3 months max.
