Watching the football show - Harry’s Heroes on ITV, the ex players refer to ex England international John Barnes as Digger - named after Digger Barnes! Never knew that

The influence of the TV show Dallas is still with us.

Did you know that Jenna Coleman who starred as Clara in Doctor Who alongside Matt Smith & Peter Capaldi is named after the character of Jenna Wade from Dallas. :)

It was me who added that snippet of information to her Wikipedia entry a few years back after she revealed the information during an interview with Radio Times.
