Woah! It's like the bit in the last Wolverine film, Logan, where he starts looking at X-Men comics - it's like we're all in the same universe.
Imagine Benedict Wong's supercool character Prime presiding over an IT Crowd web casino, then it turns out that Roy and Moss have been playing it at work all along. Then again, nowadays it would probably be online slots rather than physical fruit machines, and they'd pop up in something computer-related instead: The IT Crowd perhaps. In fact, if that show were being made now they'd probably sneak an Only Fools fruity into the background of the pub set, as a little easter egg for anyone doing a YouTube '25 things you missed' deep-dive on each episode. Which was a perfect bit of merchandising, when you think about it.ĭel, Rodney and co spent a lot of their time in mythical Peckham pub The Nag's Head (there actually is a Nag's Head in Peckham, but they filmed the show in Bristol), so it always felt apt.
There was a spell in the early 1990s when most pubs seemed to have an Only Fools And Horses fruit machine, for example. You know a comedy show has really crossed over into the public consciousness when spin-off games start springing up in random places.
