Fascinating fact - there are two references to celebrity cyclists in Stella Street. During the filming of Get Chisolm, Michael Caine's straight to video spy thriller, his ex National Service mucker, Jack Flatley, takes on the role of pizza chef Mario Cipollini (at the time, a top Italian sprinter). Similary, Phil Cornwell's dope addled Dutch lodger Hank, is named Zoetemelk - the only other Zoetelmelk who springs to mind is 70's cycling dynamo Joop Zoetemelk, who famously failed every challenge he had to undertake in the BBC kids sports show, Superstars and was unable to do even one press up.

Anyone care to put some time into this page too?

The BBC site has good technical details (screening times etc..)that could be added. Anyone care to do so?
