I saw Oliver Holt in the airport in Paris coming back from the Tour de France.

With all due respect to the homosexual community, he was pulling the gayest little wheelie bag I have ever seen.

I knew Godber was Villa. He was also from Smethwick and had an 'O' level. Geography I think.

Godber is the name of a Funeral Directors on Smethwick High Street (by the Red Cow):

From memory Helen Baxendale (really fancied her when she was in "Cardiac Arrest") was born in Shenstone, just outside of Lichfield.

She went to Arthur Terry School and worked as a waitress at the Chinese restaurant above the old musuc shop in Mere Green.

Villa fan?

Not sure.

I knew Ken Jones who played the weaselly snitch of Slade quite well and I asked him whether Godber was a Villa fan and he said not.   However, Ken never really got over playing an Everton fan in The Golden Vision, he and his wife who played the original mother in Liver Birds were both rabid ploppers.

Adil Ray who writes and stars in Citizen Khan is a Villa fan as well. The episode where they go to the pub had a guy wearing a Villa shirt and the board outside advertised Villa vs Liverpool being shown.

The Brummie connection continues.... a clip on the BBC3 website shows a preview where Ken and Cuckoo are DJ's at a teenagers party and play..... '7 days is too long' by Dexy's Midnight Runners.

Classic stuff.

Sorry!  My shonky internet connection cut out as I was quoting, and I must have pressed "post" in my frustration.  Think the only point I was going to make was that Helen Baxendale was in the Sunday Times magazine, and considers herself to be from Yorkshire (born in Pontefract) and that she dislikes anything southern.  So I think the chances of her being a Villa fan are slim.

Are you openly admitting you watched it?

A villa fan in the show or in his real life ?
Still love seeing the villa scarf on pike in dads army- anyone remember that time alf garnet was mistaken for a villa fan wearing his west ham scarf- very amusing reaction .

Her children with her partner David Williams are now ten, seven and three and go by the unusual names of Nell Marmalade, Eric Mustard and Vincent Mash

I watched the first episode and a bit of the second last night. It was "alright". I think it might be the first BBC3 thing that I've ever gone out of my way to watch.

It wasn't shot in Lichfield, though.

Eastie: The character, Godber, was the Villa fan. I vaguely recall somebody upsetting him by slagging us off. A Man Utd fan I think it was.
