Cuckoo in the nest

[ygwerin1 · 8/10 · 13 September 2021]

The German Site Manager Herr Grunwald has the old bill on his back over a fight, in a local bar involving a British worker on the Biko Building Site.

He immediately took his spite out on all of the remaining British workers, expecting them to carry the can.

Herr Grunwald wanting Dennis Patterson to accept, full responsibility for the offender Magowan.

Neville is desperate for a break in the monotony such that he chided, everyone to agree to some form of communal activity.

The Alien

[Prismark10 · 6/10 · 20 February 2021]

Michael Elphick returns as the thuggish Magowan. I could never place his accent. It is somewhere between Ireland, Liverpool and the Black country.

When Magowan is arrested for violence. The onus is placed on Dennis to bail him out from the police station.

Oz invites Magowan to stay in the hut as he has been thrown out of the hostel he was staying at.

However Magowan's rowdy ways is just too much for the lads. He just does not fit in.

It is another episode that looks more like a filler. Oz comes across as a UN diplomat compared to Magowan.

I would have thought it would be Oz who could Magowan toe the line. I think Oz would also have something to say when Magowan hit Neville.
