Q
What is a rilk?
A
As revealed by Fletcher, it is a migratory bird which flies backwards to stop the sh...snow going in its face.
Q
Why do they say "naff off"?
A
Due to the lack of abilility of swear, mainly. But the meaning of naff is obscure, the most likely is that is back slang for "fan" or "vagina".
Q
Does Ronnie do the voice of the judge at the beginning?
A
Yes, originally this was a set up for a joke in the pilot. But it caused problems when the character of Fletcher's judge was used as a character in two episodes.
