Have got all the Phoenix Nights episodes on DVD- bloody wonderful. The 'Clinton Baptiste' bit cracks me up every time. I can relate to the 'sink estate' comment. I grew up on one of those lovely government inspired projects during the 60s and 70s in the beautiful West Mids. You forgot to mention the burnt out car which mysteriously turned up every Sunday morning. I suppose living in shit inspired me to work hard and fuck off to pastures new. Come a long way from the snotty nosed, ragged blond lad and now live the ideal middle- class dream (Arse). If I went back to the old estate and visited the local pub I bet I would recognise half of the bar flys and I haven't lived there for 35 years. Funny, the local was called 'The Phoenix' after the original pub got burnt down- no cars to burn that night.
