Same but I put that down to the delay from it being aired in the US to it being aired on BBC 2, which must have been three to four years.

I don't think I'd even have been aware of the OJ case when I watched it the first time round, either. I was 6 when the trial happened, and then 12 when this episode aired on BBC 2. Can't say it's something I recall being aware of at that age.

I’d argue he’s best known for the eternal line, “Gizza job”.

Just goes to show, under Thatcher he was unemployed, but under Blair he became a ship captain then King of Rohan. The Tories just do not work for the ordinary man...

Supergran is way before my time but I've heard of it at least, RIP. Also, I realise this is the pickiest of things about an obituary, but Milton of Campsie is about half the distance to Glasgow as it is to Stirling(I live about 15 minutes away in the car). What an odd signpost by the BBC.

Gone too soon
