I'm on a 31 heading up town to take in some culture and I'm overhearing various conversations.

Someone made a phone call to say that he was running late and used one of my favourite Leonard Rossiter excuses; Panther loose at Chessington!

That got me thinking about the number of phrases that were conjured up by a script writer sonewhere.

Loads.

Woo Hoo - Simpsons

Oh my god - Friends

Make it so - Star Trek

Over to you...
