It's no surprise that televisions are a divisive topic in pubs. On the one hand they can provide entertainment during sporting events, or fill an awkward lull in conversation on a bad first date. On the other hand, they can be an unwanted distraction; when instead of having a lovely group discussion, everyone ends up watching 'The Chase' on mute. However, it can't be denied that TV has produced some real legends over the years, and today we're happy to be joined by one of them, because creating ...
