“8 Minutes Idle” on the BBC IPlayer shot in Bristol good few Gas references even a character in the Cowlyn home shirt. One for the lockdown

Just watch hot fuzz much more entertaining, plenty of references to that old cow Lyn on that too. 😁

Not sure what the Bristol link is. I’d go as far to say it’s the most Rovers have ever featured in a main stream film, unless anyone knows different |

Sorry I meant I didn’t know what the connection was with 8 Minutes Idle not Hot Fuzz |

Re Hot Fuzz; is it just me that finds it a bit cringey that the local Gashead seems to bit the village idiot?

Pretty sure one of the eastenders scriptwriters years back was Gas and in early 00s there was two scenes where first irene got sung in the queen vic (fictional soap one as oppposed to the ex gas pub near the ground) and one of the characters was kicking a Rovers football about.

Also Maya Jama did a show called football virgin where she chooses Rovers as her team, i believe her old man or uncle is gas, however she has nowadays pledged allegiance to West Ham 😠

He was a director of the show. Used to flit between EastEnders and Emmerdale I believe |
