Always enjoy those ads for bespoke Crocodile verandas and garage doors …"you know what I love, the craftsmanship!" … so Tommy Walsh is my fav prof cockney - making a living out of maintaining a cor blimey ducker and diver persona. Other examples include Danny Baker, Fred Housego and Greg Wallace. I can't think of any others at the moment so more examples would be appreciated … Ray Winstone of course … and Phil Daniels ...

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Micky Flanagan is brilliant, and from the East End, and a sh1t school Highlighting the differences across classes and from his own experiences starting life as a fish porter starting work at silly o’ clock, although on great money, to all sorts of stuff including throwing that away to experience New York, then East London window cleaning before an open university degree, a year I think of teaching, meeting a middle class lady, ‘earning bundles, or more than he knows what to do with and experiencing the finer things in life and some of the stranger people that come along with it.’

A quality act yet admits he wasn’t that funny before, although being funny in amongst a male dominated environment in a market isn’t easy.

Romesh Ranganathan is also brilliant but not sounding like a cockney. Just sounding like the rest of us from outer London rather than some wannabe that’ll only limit opportunities outside of groups sounding that way.

Frank Harper is Millwall, not West Ham.

He definitely is not Millwall. Maybe in one fictional film he is.
