Bob Hoskins made an appearance on the 80s hit show Miami Vice as an English villian.

He said in an interview that nearly every line his character had contained the word "w*nker". He thought this was odd and explained its meaning to the producers - who promptly cut every utterance of it out of the script.


I think you may have confused Bob Hoskins with Phil Collins, there, Gavin!

It's possible. It was a dark room and sometimes I don't even ask their names.
