From Here to Paternity

"**From Here to Paternity**" is an episode of the BBC sitcom, *The Green Green Grass*. It was first screened on 25 December 2006, as the 2006 Christmas special.

## Synopsis

When Llewellyn arrives accusing the Boyce's dog, Earl, of seducing his pedigree collie, Blodwyn, who is now pregnant, trouble starts to brew in the village. Boycie doesn't want his reputation to be scarred by having a sexually orientated pet so he denies everything until Llewellyn produces a photograph of the crime to which Marlene replies 'that's canine pornography!'

Things get a whole lot worse, when Mrs Cakeworthy overhears the Boyces talking about it and she assumes they're talking about Tyler getting Beth pregnant. Then when Marlene and Boycie confront Tyler he thinks that they mean that Mrs Cakeworthy is pregnant. Spiralling out of control, the rumours get more and more wild until Ray, Beth's dad, decides to get nasty. When Boycie decides to tell the staff that Mrs Cakeworthy is pregnant her husband shows up and the following conversation leads to Boycie receiving another black eye.

Meanwhile, Mrs Cakeworthy is named Tai Chi Student of the Month, Tyler has a real Christmas surprise for Beth – a horse, and Jed, Elgin and Bryan are convinced that the strange, terrible creature Old Bones has come back to stalk the land, consuming everything in its path. Or maybe they're just trying to scare Boycie and pocket some extra money.

Fawlty Towers

***Fawlty Towers*** is a British television sitcom written by John Cleese and Connie Booth, broadcast on BBC2 in 1975 and 1979. Two series of six episodes each were made. The show was ranked first on a list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes drawn up by the British Film Institute in 2000 and, in 2019, it was named the 'greatest ever British TV sitcom' by a panel of comedy experts compiled by the *Radio Times*.

The series is set in Fawlty Towers, a fictional hotel in the seaside town of Torquay on the English Riviera. The plots centre on the tense, rude and put-upon owner Basil Fawlty (Cleese), his bossy wife Sybil (Prunella Scales), the sensible chambermaid Polly (Booth) who often is the peacemaker and voice of reason, and the hapless and English-challenged Spanish waiter Manuel (Andrew Sachs). They show their attempts to run the hotel amidst farcical situations and an array of demanding and eccentric guests and tradespeople.

The idea of the show came from Cleese after he stayed at the Gleneagles Hotel in Torquay, Devon in 1970 (along with the rest of the Monty Python troupe), where he encountered the eccentric hotel owner Donald Sinclair. Stuffy and snobbish, Sinclair treated guests as though they were a hindrance to his running of the hotel (a waitress who worked for him stated "it was as if he didn't want the guests to be there"). Sinclair was the inspiration for Cleese's character Basil Fawlty.

In 1980, Cleese received the BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance and, in a 2001 poll conducted by Channel 4, Basil Fawlty was ranked second on their list of the 100 Greatest TV Characters. The popularity of *Fawlty Towers* has endured, and it is often re-broadcast. The BBC profile for the series states that "the British sitcom by which all other British sitcoms must be judged, *Fawlty Towers* withstands multiple viewings, is eminently quotable ("don't mention the war") and stands up to this day as a jewel in the BBC's comedy crown."

Dayvion Cole

## Dayvion Cole

### Relatives

Darius Cole (Father)Maria Fultz (Mother)

Eric Cole (Uncle)

## Early Life

Dayvion Cole was born November 2nd, 1999 at Central Los Santos Medical Center. His mother worked 12+ hour days at the local laundromat to keep herself and Dayvion off the streets. His father, Darius, was unfortunately killed 2 months before Dayvion was born due to a drug-related homicide. Dayvion was sent to day care due to his mothers long working hours, however when he wasn't at day care he was sent to his uncle, Eric's house. This led to Dayvion pretty much growing up at his uncle's house as he was there 5 days a week. This was not the best environment for a developing mind though, as Eric was apart of The Vagos and had many weapons and drugs around the house. Eric also had many fellow members stay over and hide from the LSPD at his house. Dayvion was average in school however he had a short temper and often tried to fight his peers. These actions and mindset we're most likely a result of his home life. He stayed this way until he was expelled from his school at age 12.

## Teenage Years

After being expelled from school, Dayvion's mother realized how bad an influence Eric was on him. Using some of her savings she purchased a house in a better part of the city so that Dayvion could go to a new school, and so that they could be safer. However, Dayvion didn't like it, he decided that he would quit school and live with his uncle. He would soon become a member and learn the ropes from his uncle and his new family. He would continue running dope and weapons until the age of 17, where he was then promoted. At such a young age, this was a big step forward for Dayvion but he was ready. He now had more responsibilities for himself and the rest of The Vagos.

## The Vagos Downfall

When he turned 20 however, he and the rest of the Vagos had this big drug deal with The Triads when things went wrong. The Triads we're planning to rob The Vagos and they did so, many of the OG's we're killed or arrested and sent to prison for life. Dayvion was able to get away though and led some other younger members away as well. After this, The Vagos had no direction. Dayvion stayed up for days thinking about what his future was. He decided that he was not going to stand down. He visited his uncle in jail to get inspiration and from then on, Dayvion decided to become the leader of The Vagos.

## Leader Of the Vagos

Under Dayvion's leadership, the gang has started to bounce back. He partnered with Ace Sanchez and are planning to get more guns, drugs and grow exponentially.

The sitcom ran for nine series and 80 episodes in total; there was also a radio version based on the television scripts, a feature film and a stage show. The series regularly gained audiences of 18 million viewers, and is still repeated worldwide.

The Home Guard consisted of local volunteers otherwise ineligible for military service, either because of age (hence the title *Dad's Army*) or by being in professions exempt from conscription. *Dad's Army* deals almost exclusively with men over military age, and featured older British actors, including Arnold Ridley, John Laurie, Arthur Lowe and John Le Mesurier. Younger members of the cast included Ian Lavender, Clive Dunn (who played the oldest guardsman, Lance Corporal Jones, despite being one of the younger cast members), and James Beck (who died suddenly during production of the sixth series in 1973).

A 2001 Channel 4 poll ranked Captain Mainwaring 21st on their list of the 100 Greatest TV Characters. A second feature film of *Dad's Army* with a different cast was released in 2016.

**Derek Edward Trotter**, more commonly known as **Del Boy** (born 12 July 1948), is the fictional lead character in the popular BBC sitcom *Only Fools and Horses* and one of the main characters of its prequel, *Rock & Chips*. He was played by David Jason in the original series and was portrayed as a teenager by James Buckley in the prequel. Del Boy is often regarded as one of the greatest comedy characters in the history of British television, and is regarded as an iconic character in British culture. In a 2001 poll conducted by Channel 4 Del Boy was ranked fourth on their list of the 100 Greatest TV Characters.

Encompassing everything Cockney (though coming from Peckham not an actual Cockney), Del is known for his broken French quotes, which are usually completely out of context, and a variety of catchphrases, including: "He who dares, wins!", "This time next year we'll be millionaires", "Cushty!", "Lovely Jubbly!", "You know it makes sense" (which he usually says to his customers after they have agreed on a deal), "Shut up you tart" and "You plonker!", usually said to Rodney.
