Tipsy_McStagger Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) There was an episode of new tricks a few years ago which featured a family with the double barreled named Linden-Warner. Linden Warner being the name of an ex- Birmingham rider from the 1980's ( And 2007 Malaysian speedway champion who know?) I wondered at the time if this was a reference to him. As I believe the writer is from the midlands area and tried to add local reference to the names of characters. In fact the main three ex policemen in the show are Halford, Lane, Standing a reference to West Bromwich Albion’s ground. Maybe the writer tried to sneak in a speedway reference with that family name. Obscure I know.
