On Saturday night (UK tv) a new show was shown about a seedy pub in west England and one of the locals put "This Charming Man" on the jukebox and started doing a Moz impersonation, then his mate entered and started doing a Moz dance and they both started asking each other pop quiz questions about the song and chart positions etc and said they loved The Smiths and the song.

Half way through the landlord asked if they wanted to play cards and when they said yes he promptly turned The Smiths down and said get that shite off. A great touch from the writer of "The Royle Family", another Manchester based tv show.

  • I saw the episode in question. I think this is going to be a very funny Northern comedy. Craig Cash is a great writer. It's a very regular sight to see Northern landlords singing along to Morrissey or Smiths on the jukebox without the seeming hint of irony, this is why I found that scene so funny

  • Did anyone hear The Smiths on Eastenders last week, was background music in the Queen Vic....I think it may have been "heaven knows I'm miserable now", can't remember....

  • It seems that every five years or so the ghost of the Smiths returns to haunt popular culture.
    Enjoy it while it lasts!
