Comedy characters supporting us:

Jim Hacker (Yes, Minister)
Lennie Godber (Porridge)
Greg Davies in that odd sit com, Cuckoo (think it is called that)

Curiosity being what it is I went back to page 1 of this thread and found this, notable because I recently met the creator of Cuckoo and can confirm he's a Villa fan.

An underrated show, Cuckoo.

I think it was for the first 2 series, by the end of the 3rd I was out. Didn't realise it it had another 2. Greg has been a villa fan twice now but he really hates football in real life.

Yeah, I think Taylor Lautner did a good job, but it never recovered from losing Andy Samberg.

Still perfectly enjoyable, though.

I do have a crush on Esther. Trying is alright on Apple+, her being on it helps and I love hearing her accent on a 'mainstream' show. I like to wonder what the yanks are thinking watching it.

Some of the best scenes are in the 2nd season. Xmas one with Roy and Keeley looking after the niece, Coach Beard after the FA Cup final, the funeral one.

One Aston Villa!
There are only one Aston Villa!

Yeah, makes sense.

Did you see the Spanish article that said ‘is’?

Bloody Americanisms.

Percy you are making a spectacle of yourself for no reason.

We all agree, Aston Villa are magic.
