For the old arses. Does anyone remember the sit-com The Brothers McGregor? Starring Phillip Whitchurch and Paul Barber as half-brothers in Liverpool?
Well did you know it was actually a spin off from Coronation Street?
When Eddie Yates and Marion Willis got engaged, they had a do in the Rovers Return and two of the guests were the McGregor brothers.
Annie walker was forced to ring the police when the brothers rolled the piano on to the street to continue the party.
Writers and producers at Coronation street were so taken with the characters, that they decided to give them their own show.
Carl Chase and Tony Osaba (of Porridge, and later, Coronation street as Peter Ingram!) were either unable to reprise their roles or didn't want the parts, and so Whitchurch and Barber stepped in.

Oh wow!! I thought that was brilliant. Paul Barber was and is one of my favourite actors. (I'm in denial about my arl arse status though.)

Paul is really underrated as an actor I remember an early one of his performances in 'Gangsters', many years ago on the BBC,

That's got to be just about the ultimate embarrassment for a woman.

Gonna have to expand on that one. Given gold is an element and not a chemical compound, I fail to see who hydrogen and oxygen could turn into gold.

Oh here we go, without doubt one of the worst, most misleading clickbait headlines of all time:
