Capt. Pants 4,246 Posted October 4, 2023 In the very first Mission Impossible film there's a scene fairly early on in a (London?) house where there is a radio on in the background giving out football scores. From memory Norwich City were the away team and the score was '0' 🤣 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,779 Posted October 4, 2023 A minor bit part in Lee Child's Jack Reacher series. The Hard Way ends in Norfolk, just south of Norwich. "Canaries" is the password he uses.🙂 https://www.edp24.co.uk/things-to-do/20699205.crime-writer-norwich-bookshop/ "Norfolk is not an area I know well. I have been there many times, but only for brief visits - I used to come to Carrow Road quite often to see Villa play Norwich, and I have had book events in Norwich before. "When I travelled through Norfolk, my first impression was that its landscape was good for secrecy, intrigue and excitement. I just knew that the end of the book should be set there," he said. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Segura 84 Posted October 4, 2023 I may have completely imagined this, but I'm sure there was an episode of Eastenders in the late 90s where the characters (Bepe and Gianni) were discussing a forthcoming game between Italy and Wales. One of them mentioned Iwan Roberts as a threat for the Italians and said something along the lines of 'You know the big guy who plays for Norwich". Think the incident made the Evening News. As I said it could all have a been a bad dream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,410 Posted October 4, 2023 Wasn't it the Children's BBC TV programme Press Gang where a female lead was a big Norwich fan, her bedroom was decorated with posters and she always wore a Norwich scarf? Or am I getting the programmes mixed up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,562 Posted October 4, 2023 Not sure that it counts as pop culture but in Arnold Wesker's Roots, set in Norfolk there is this Saturday lunchtime conversation between two members of a farming family: "Who do you think'll win today?" "Well Norwich won't." "No." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
