tbf, he put it on target. The pressure must be huge...Quote:

That's it though, do that and you have 50/50 chance of the keeper saving it or getting close.Quote:

I loved that show! :clap:Quote:

I always belted it in the bottom corner and if the keeper even moved I was surprised. If he went the right way he wouldn't get anywhere near it.Quote:

I only sent the keeper the wrong way once, in a five a side competition, and that is only because he saw me take a penalty in the previous game and I knew which way he was going to dive.
Porridge is brilliant. Never really appreciated how good it was when I was younger.Quote:

As is Fulton Mackay. Going Straight was brilliant apart from the first episode which is a two hander between and him and Barker on the train after Fletch is released and Mackay forced into retirement. Maybe not as funny but beautifully written and actedQuote:

"Anne. You slaaaaaaagggggg. How could ya do this me?"
"I'm not shagging that, Cromwell, you caaaaant."
Him and Sid James were the best every Henry VIIIs.
Everyone else in Wolf Hall were perfect - Mark Rylance as Cromwell, Anton Lester as Thomas More. But they should have had Winstone as Henry.
