The Wire

This scene never made much of an impression on me on previous rewatches, especially what Chris says.

But it landed this time - some depth to the show

I don’t think it is addressed in the show but is Cheese the father of Randy? Hence why he ended up in care?

It’s never said in the show but Simon confirmed it a few years later that he was Cheese’s young lad

Was cheese’s surname mentioned in the show? Don’t recall it.

Wagstaff as well - Rhonda or Lester mentions it when he is up on the board as one of the targets who they have a phone tap on

Prop Joe was Randy’s grand-uncle too. All the wan side.

Another thing I missed previously - Snoop has a sister in Prezbo’s class with the four lads - she is like a mini me of Snoop

Yes - I remember that. At the end of season two, him and one of the black stevedores are shown out of it on a corner

On a full rewatch and on season 2; Ziggy really pisses me off with his stupidity
