I remember seeing an edition of (I think) "Have I Got News For You" or some similar quiz show where the discussion somehow drifted around to the subject of the Dennis Potter drama "The Singing Detective" and particularly the scene in which Alison Steadman's character was getting a good seeing to in a field.
After a while, one of the panel (director Mike Leigh) chimed up with the immortal line:
"Oi you lot, that's my ex-wife you're talking about".
Priceless
