KRP 56 92 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Alright. Let us in on this one as I'm also in the dark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocky 1,224 Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 The Young Ones was a hit comedy in the UK in the mid eighties, their pet was a gerbil called SPG. I guess the new member was a fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WytchDokta 6 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 their pet was a gerbil called SMG. ← Sub-machinegun? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giampi 39 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Maybe I'm stupid but isn't SpecialPatrolGP = SPG and not SMG??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocky 1,224 Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 Typo fixed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ARDelta 0 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I watched the Youngs Ones when I was in college. MTV was showing it here in the states. I loved it, but I sure didn't remember the gerbil's name! Did you get a video? And they had the coolest bands show up in their living room. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocky 1,224 Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 Yeh it was a great show, when they said they wouldn't do another series me and my mates at school did one of those "we gotta write to the producers and get another series, we'll start a petition!!!" silly things you do at school type things. The show has aged pretty bad though, the bands are still watchable though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 but, the special patrol group was also a very angry police unit in the used in the 60's, 70's and 80's.
