Arsenal vs Aston Villa FA Cup Final :- Villa Perspective
A number of television programmes have included references to Aston Villa over the past few decades. In the sitcom Porridge, the character Lennie Godber is a Villa supporter.[103] When filming began on Dad's Army, Villa fan Ian Lavender was allowed to choose Frank Pike's scarf from an array in the BBC wardrobe; he chose a claret and blue one—Aston Villa's colours.[104] The character Nessa in the BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey was revealed as an Aston Villa fan in an episode screened in December 2009.[105] In the BBC series "Yes Minister" / "Yes Prime Minister", the Minister's local team was Aston Villa: Jim Hacker was the Member of Parliament for Birmingham East, and in the first episode (Open Government (Yes Minister)) he makes reference to the team in complaining that his new civil servants have given him too much work on his first day on the job: "Villa's at home to Liverpool!" In a later episode (The Middle-Class Rip-Off), the fictional Club Chairman, Harry Sutton, describes the teams' history when attempting to persuade the Minister to rescue the club from imminent bankruptcy: "Look at our history. FA Cup Winners, League Champions, one of the first teams ever into Europe."
