re : I.D , messiah is right - i have it on DVD and it is Trev who exposes his complete lack of football knowledge by not knowing that Shadwell's best ever player is black - John pretends he cannot read the ' Pot Black ' quizzer as a cover , however the question is about Coronation Street not football.

I'm fairly sure the question was what number Coronation Street did the Ogden's live at (no 13). Haven't seen it that often since it was at the cinema, maybe once or twice, so I could be wrong (but not as wrong as some people on here!). I seem to have a good memory to pick up this sort of useless information. If only I could use this ability to my benefit......

Not sure where your reference to 'Pot Black' has come from - was this in the script? It was most definately a GUAB.

You are right of course - snooker on the brain.

Not sure what coin he put in, but the green start button was flashing before he put it in!

Theres an inde or open in the background of the pub in the first episode of Public Enemies (on bbc iplayer). Anna Friel's in it if that's any help. Pub is rough as fuck and no one is playing the machine (shocker).

Bizarrely, Kick Ass 2 features a Paragon (switched off) about 46 minutes in. There is a handwritten note attached to it that I couldn't read, but don't think it was an 'Out of Order' notice.

I assume the bar it was in is meant to be located in New York.
