2 Point 4 Children

Joe Hutch

Mate of the bloke
Is now streaming on the iPlayer (all series plus specials).

It’s an interesting watch, some 30 years on. No internet, but computer games are becoming ‘a thing’. Explicitly anti-Tory, with Thatcher being blamed for everything.

In the episode we watched last night, the two main characters are watching late-night television and a repeat of ‘Robin Hood’ comes on. After switching it off, the bloke presciently remarks ‘In the future, every single programme ever broadcast, however bad, will be repeated.’
 
Used to enjoy it back in the day. Did they not change the actress playing the daughter half way through its run?
 
Gary Olsen was the bloke. Sadly died less than a year after the last episode.

He was at a party I was at once. You couldn't fail to notice his presence even from 20 yards away in a crowd. His voice was omni present.
