Reggie Perrin in 2001

Alf Roberts from Corrie in Get Carter “you’re a big man but you’re out of shape”

Lovejoy in Sexy Beast (not a big deal seeing him in those kind of parts now, but was jarring at the time)

I remembered you saying it just as the ad started before the film, but had enough sense not to tell my partner - her reaction was much like yours. So glad I didn’t tell her and got to see it!

Also find it weird when Chris Finch from the office turns up in things, most recently Chernobyl. Always feel the need to say bloody good rep when I see him
