Old fashioned wheeler dealer running run down factory and always trying to get one over on his competitors/staff. IMO one of Bill Maynard's finest hours. Drove a beat up Rover 3000 as I recall . . .
Also, what about 'Cowboys' with Roy Kinnear? Similar story line and just loved Janine Duvitski . . . . 
Quote: Aaron @ September 23 2008, 3:22 PM BSTWell what do you want us to say? Both. It's a masterpiece. Great writing, and Rossiter is simply superb. Do you want a breakdown, line-by-line, of every script?
Yes please. Come on, chop f**king chop!
Was the show any good last night? Were there any utterly irrelevant talking heads?
Quote: Jack Massey @ September 23 2008, 9:54 PM BSTAgreed. The scripts were superb and as was Rossiter's acting, as was the acting of messrs: Warrington, Beckinsale and De La Tour.
Favourite episodes, anyone? Mine's A Night Out.
Frances De La Tour was a keen cyclist and once completed the Tour De France cycling backwards.

Ian Wright again. He appears to be on there as some sort of barometer of the portayal of ethnicity throughout the years.

And that Anthony Cotton of Coronation Street.

A running gag, no doubt. Bastard.
Ha.
I still love him though. Having appeared in the best TV show of all time. (not Coronation Street.)

I've heard of 'Not The Nine o'clock News but not 'Not Coronation Street'.
It's new...
Yes, anyway, we're going off-topic now.
