Q: In the 1990s TV series 'Chancer', Clive Owen's character Stephen Crane encounters his enemy Piers Garfield-Ward driving a flashy new (and highly phallic) sports car. Crane attempts a put-down, "You must have an incredibly tiny pen1s to want to drive a car like that, Piers." What was the riposte that Piers drawled?

What links the White House, Danger Point South Africa and the Crystal Palace?

By the way, Sir Joseph Paxton, who designed Crystal Palace, is my great-great-great-uncle (by marriage). His daughter Rosa married my great grandfather's brother. We have in the family a ring supposedly given by Paxton to his daughter when she married. So I suppose I should have somehow known the answer to the QotD.

Meanwhile, back to the pen1s jokes...... Does nobody want to have a go at this? I'll give it until later this evening, and then replace it with a ridiculously simple question to move us along.

The scrumptious Susannah Harker, the captivating Caroline Langrishe, the luscious Louise Lombard .... and you want to talk "cock" :)

Apart from the lovely ladies there was a very good cast. Leslie Philips was particularly enjoyable. Was the line something like "you don't need a large pen1s when you drive a car like this"?

You should see my Bristol(s)?

Or was that a different programme?

Navcorr wins.

Not just for being the only other person in the world who seems to have heard of Chancer (and I particularly agree about Louise Lombard).

But also because the line was (as far as I recall), "If you have a car like this, Stephen, you don't really need a penís."

Another fine moment is when Piers turns up at a grand stately home, and marches toward the front door, and a woman grubbing about in the garden says something like "Where do you think you are going?" To which he replies, dismissively, "Begone loathsome crone, I have business with the master of this house." There is a pause and then she says something like "Now , Piers, don't be silly." and he says "Oh, hello, Mother".
