Someone else wrote: “Bradley and Barney Walsh, brilliant.”

Meanwhile, The Larkins debuted on ITV on Sunday, 10 October.
Based on the H. E. Bates' novel The Darling Buds of May, The Larkins’ lives take a complicated turn when Cedric ‘Charley’ Charlton arrives from the tax office to inspect Pop’s finances.
Elsewhere in the cast, you will find the likes of Joanna Scanlan, Sabrina Bartlett and Tok Stephen.
The Larkins airs Sundays at 8pm on ITV, and is available on ITV Hub.
