Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Ep 12, Season 2: George Dent's rebellious daughter has set fire to his office desk, only for George to discover (thanks to video evidence) that reporter Damien paid her £50 to do it. George walks into his office armed with a hammer to confront his daughter, who freely admits to the payment. At which point George, poor downtrodden, mild-mannered, "always backs down", "everyone walks all over him" George asks "Do you what to make another £50?" and, offering his daughter the hammer, tells her the location of Damien's Porsche. For This Troper, who has been watching the complete series on 4oD recently, it was an incredible moment.
  • There's also a later moment involving a toasting fork and the Birdie Song.
