  Titch has alerted me to the presence of a famous guy with a funny name - Thomas Wanker, who did music for Buffy The Vampire Slayer .
However, there are is a more famous pair of Wankers. In ye olde dayes, Channel 4 relied on repeats of old American sitcoms to fill the troubled 6pm - 7pm timeslot, which is now completely revamped with, er, Friends repeats and Hollyoaks (Five times a week and a late night special on Wednesday! Woo hoo!). One of these shows was Mork and Mindy . The episode in question featured an evil couple who were trying to evict Mindy from the music store. Fortunately for our heroes, the evil bloke had a heart attack and died. However, on hearing everyone lie about how great the bloke was at the funeral, Mork resurrectted him, only to be told off by Mindy for doing so. (By the way - Fuck you, Mindy. It was an honest mistake for an alien to make when studying our society. How's he meant to know you are being insincere? And now he knows you were talking shit, why should he trust you?
You don't deserve him, or your old man-baby. ) Anyway, parents dutifully complained because the name of this couple - Arnold and Annie WANKER! Fantastic! I believe the episode is now banned in this country. It's a shame no-one asked the producers about it, because there is surely a high chance of someone saying "But there are a lot of wankers in the US..."
