tauzero Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 It was a bit speculative - The Tweets were trying to get it used for golf coverage on the BBC, much as "The Chain" is used for Formula 1, but failed miserably, as did Abba with "Eagle".

tauzero Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Blink-182 were named after an episode of the spin-off series from the Doctor Who episode "Blink", which was the first appearance of the Weeping Angels. In episode 182, the Weeping Angels encounter the Hells Angels, leading to considerable destruction until Roger Daltrey flies overhead singing and the two sides put aside their differences, at least until an argument starts over the relative merits of Entwistle and Palladino. The spin-off series has yet to be shown on British television. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
