David: If they loved me why are they throwing stuff? Throwing water, plastic bottles, underpants?! One bloke threw a pair of y-fronts, hit me in the face, and I knew it was nutella or marmite he�d smudged on the gusset. But it was still him going "that�s what we think of you mate. You�re shit."
Peter: Where did he get the marmite from? He must of prepared that from home cos he knew you were on.
David: Well that doesn�t make me feel any better? Why say that? edit »
Interviewer: How would you like to be remembered?
David: Simply, as, the man who put a smile on the face of all who he met. edit »
Neil: No dog with you today, David?
Chris Finch: Didn't you see her? She just left.
(Neil and Chris laugh at David)
David: Chris, why don't you fuck off? edit »
Tim: Life isn't about endings, is it? Is a series of moments. And um, it's like, you know, if you turn your camera off, it's not an ending, is it? I'm still here. My life's not over. Come back- come back here in ten years, see how I'm doing then. 'Cause I could be married with kids, you don't know. Life just goes on. edit »
Tim: Gareth, are you still in the TAs?
Gareth: Yeah.
Tim: What rank are you?
Gareth: Lieutenant.
Tim: Are you? Because I was thinking, if you ever take an enemy soldier prisoner, right, would you have to search him?
Gareth: Yeah, it's possible. Yeah.
Tim: Right, so let's just say you've taken him prisoner, you're doing a full body search, you find something hard, you can feel it, you know what it is. Do you just say to him, "I know you've got a big weapon, give it to me now"? Or...?
Gareth: I'm not gonna ask him, I would just get it out myself.
Tim: Right. And what happens � you're going into battle situation � are up in front with your men, or are you coming up the rear?
Gareth: Well, depends.
Dawn: It's possible you'd come up the rear?
Gareth: It's possible, yeah.
Tim: That's all we wanted to know. edit »

David: Oh, I'm having a bit of trouble myself!

Frank was well recognized for his trademark beret and raincoat. He had a wife - Betty, played by Michele Dotrice - and a baby daughter - Jessica. The humour of the show revolved around Frank getting into silly situations. edit »
David: I did a beautiful version of no woman by the late great genius Bob Marley.

David: Not after Horatio Nelson, after Nelson Mandela, the great leader.
Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson (1758 - 1805) was a British admiral and became Britain's greatest national heroes. In 1794 he lost the sight in his right eye after being shot in the face during a joint operation at Calvi, Corsica. His left eye was also injured and Nelson wore a patch over it to protect it.

Rolihlahla "Nelson" Mandela is the former President of South Africa, and one of its greatest anti-apartheid activists. edit »
David: Not as good as Beethoven, though.
Ludwig van Beethoven was a German composer largely regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time � and the greatest music composer between the Classical and Romantic eras. His most famous pieces are the Third, Fifth, and Ninth symphonies. edit »
