[Albion] Films or TV with a BHAFC reference in it

[Bry Nylon]

‘Any Which Way Were Loose’

 

[Dun Lurkin]

There's a 1950s detective film based in Brighton and the detective fails to make it to a Brighton match. However, he is relieved he missed the game when we get stuffed. But as with all the posts on this thread it is vague and provides no film name or evidence.

'Jigsaw', with Jack Warner as the detective, made in 1962. Based on the Brighton trunk murder. Saw it recently on Talking Pictures channel.

Doesn’t hollyoaks have references to us?

 

[Napier]

There was a reference to us on the Morecambe and Wise show back in the 70s/80s - about Brighton playing the Garden Gnomes and losing heavily. I've had a very quick search, but not been able to find it.

Often Jon Snow wore his Brighton tie reading the news

 

[GOM]

Aren't we shown playing a match on TV in the background in a snowmageddon type film, can't remember which one.

Mark McGhee was interviewed for the Simpsons 20th Anniversary special to back up the claim that groundskeeper Willie is from Aberdeen

In their 1973 Christmas show they did a spoof cast list in the lead up to the "play what Ernie wrote". Nothing to do with the actual play, just lots of topical jokes, one of which was
Lord Brighton - Brian Clough
At the time I thought it was really cool that my little 3rd tier team got a vague reference in one of the biggest shows of the year (well it was for me).

I hate this is how football fans, not just us, are depicted.

There were also scenes in an episode of Albion scatter cushions and a scarf Mrs AR reminds me.

This was nothing to do with me!!

I did add however add the phrase 'Marvellous Scenes' to The Bromley Boys as a little NSC tribute!!

Where Seagulls Dare ( the sequal)

Don't want to make this thread all about me but I did manage to sneak on set and put the Albion top of the league ladders on The Bromley Boys!

Childish I know...

There was another where Eric Morecambe put out a sign that said “Luton for the cup” to which Ernie replied “can’t you say an funnier” to which Eric replied with a sign “Brig for the cup” just after we’d had a humiliating knockoput… which just goes to show that not everything on Morecambe and Wise was hilarious…. Not that I’m still bitter

Sussex by the Sea also appeared in an episode of Death in paradise.

References on Judge John Deed when we were at Withdean I think

There was. Deed was planning a trip down to Brighton and thought of turning up at Withdean, without a ticket and getting in. There was a thread on here about the implausibIlity of it.
