The obscure docu-film by bbc2 late one night many moons ago about football violence & partly filmed around Selhurst Park, starring Gary Oldman. Well, 22.20hrs tomorrow night on bbc4 they're showing it again.

It's a great piece of drama, Oldman before he made it big is truly scary.

Can't say I know it, but the Record button has been pressed. Anything with Gary Oldman has got to be worth watching, 'specially if Selhurst features.

Oldman before he made it big

Gary Oldman. First name is in the clue, grew up in New Cross, Souf East London and supported Millwall so probably found this acting easy.

His sister Laila something played the mother in law to Ray Winston in ‘Nil By Mouth’ set in Bermondsey. Ray bashed his missus all over the place. She was Waynetta in Harry Enfield.

Thought Kathy Burke played Waynetta.

Nil by Mouth is a tough watch.
Also the baby with the stanley knife in The Firm is a rough scene (may well be deleted now)

She did

There's a scene in a pub at the start of Nil by Mouth where a bloke bumps into Jamie Foreman's chair where his reaction makes me homesick for London. It's a brutal film but that bit always makes me laugh.

Fact for the day. Gary Oldman is actually older than Gary Numan.
Makes no sense, I know.

The Karate Kid is now 11 years older than Mr. Miyagi was in the first film.

Mindblowing

I seem to recall they used footage at Selhurst during the 2-2 draw v Man City just before our FA Cup final.
Didn't Ron Noades blow his top at the producers associating Selhurst with Hooliganism ?

The Karate Kid is now 11 years older than Mr. Miyagi was in the first film.

And I am 11 years older than Gary Oldman. Horrifying!

 

[ex hibitionist]

and Gary Nubon is younger than Gary Glitter. Mind you all Garys are old these days, nobody's called it any more, it's all Nathan, Aaron and worst of the lot Jadon these days. And all girls from humble backgrounds are now called Alleesha, and there's a million ways to spell it.

You're right, kathy burke was waynetta.

Gary oldman's sister, layla morse, is little mo in eastenders.

There was a story a few years ago about a parent/teacher event in Glasgow.
Teacher: Generally Siobhan is doing very well
Mother: Who's this you're on about?
Teacher: Your daughter. Siobhan.
Mother: That's no her name. She's called Sigh O Ban.

Turned out she'd only ever seen it written down.

with your surname, the two of yiz must be related ?

Yeah I mixed them up.

Laila Morse looks like Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill in ‘Darkest Hour’

Are you sure it was made as late as May 1990?
