In an episode from series 1. David asks for £3000 to be taken out against his wages, to which George replies "How are we going to explain an expenditure of £3000? Dinner with Pavarotti? Drinks with George Best? Group sex with Pamela Bordez??"
I wasn't that old when this was first shown.... so can someone remind me who Pamela Bordez is/was please?
If I remember correctly, she was a society party girl who worked at the Houses of Parliament as a researcher and allegedly had a habit of being paid for providing "services" to a number of well known celebrities!
shareHeh. Very amusing. I bet that wasn't in the small print :)
shareWhere politicians are involved, you never know....
shareOK, while we're on the subject of topical references that are now dated - can somebody tell me who Terry Christian is/was?

Speaking as someone who was a teenager in the '90s and embarassed to carry the label: you have no idea how long I've waited to hear someone say that! :)
He was one of the very first "yoof" presenters for C4:

I was a teenager in the 90s as well, but didn't watch much of C4 at all, let alone "yoof" TV!
