If I'm still around it'll be my thirteenth World Cup. My first - Argentina - is still my favourite. Crackly commentary over a telephone, late night games, ticker tape...

Would Partridge vote Reform on the quiet? He'd possibly go for a pint with Farage.

Actually I can see an American Partridge working. Obviously not our Partridge because he's just too British but I wonder if US broadcasters have looked at AP and thought 'We could do that'?

You did get quite a few sitcoms that had UK origins though.

US cop shows were a big thing in the UK back then. My mum managed to get Raymond Burr's autograph when he came over for a promotional tour and David Soul lived out the last two or so decades in London.

1) Little and Large substituting Morecambe and Wise - definitely reserves coming on for first-teamers.

2) Brucie couldn't even beat them in the ratings.
