1* In the Series 2 episode "A Home From Home", Wayne is being given the cold shoulder by the other six for getting them thrown out of their hotel after the landlord, Arthur Pringle (who already barely tolerated them, mostly because of what he perceived as their uncouth manners), caught Wayne in bed with his daughter, and followed up the eviction by getting them blacklisted at every pub and hotel in the area. As renovation on Thornely Manor continues, the lads find some old video cassettes, and Wayne buys a cheap television and video player, acting on the possibility that they might be the stag films for which Thornely Manor's former owner, Kenny Ames, was renowned. Sure enough, one of the cassettes has footage of an orgy at Thornely Manor... with guests including Arthur Pringle. The next day, Wayne leads the lads back to the Barley Mow and produces the tape to successfully blackmail Pringle into letting them drink there again, declaring, "Mr Arthur 'Tiger' Pringle, this is your life!"
2* The Series 2 episode "Cowboys" features two significant awesome moments.
3** First, there is Oz singing a soulful rendition of Merle Haggard's "I Can't Be Myself" in the country-western bar, impressing even his sceptical fellow builders. The performance partly contributed to Creator/JimmyNail's success as a singer in the years that followed (he had already had a UK hit single between series 1 and 2).
