I used to live down the road from Ashton Gate and had 'Nelson Mandela House' in my bedroom window skyline, funny thing was as a fan of the show I didn't put the two together for a few years, great pic of you and DJ too, will look nice blown up framed in your living room shrine I'm sure, great that you've got video too in case you find a frame you prefer

That would have been a dream to attend - I live in Australia now, but I grew up in the UK with OFAH as a kid. That show means the world to me.

Great pod, the convention looks amazing. Towards the end you discussed the rhyming slang they use, John Sullivan managed to keep the show pre watershed by using it without taking away authenticity to the scripts. "Me ol' April was going like a good 'un" refers to someone being scared. Arse was given the Cockney slang of "Bottle & glass" which became just "bottle" "Bottle" went on to become "Aristotal" which then became "Aris" "Aris" became "April in Paris" which was shortened to "April" So, the "old April" Delboy refers to is his arse 😂 "Going down the Kermit" is from Kermit the frog which is Cockney from frog and toad = Road. So going down the Kermit means "going down the road".

That was brilliant, can you get Tony Dow and David Jason and Nic Lyndhurst and Gwyne Strong and Tessa Peake Jones and the actor who played The Great Remondo. Thank you
