On the contrary most people know that and it's been discussed in pubs and been a quiz question for years. People fucking knew it after Gladiator came out in 2000 or whatever and "that's the going for gold man" Whenever anyone says "Not many people realise" it's a thick bastard who's just learned it years after everyone else, but feels the need to know something Sit in the corner. If people want an education they'll ask for it.

One of my mates (hope he’s reading this😂) was unemployed during “the second summer of love 1991” he had watched every episode of going for Gold that year, then all of a sudden he was offered a job at a place called true cut leathers in Leicester where his mum and brother already worked, not the best offer but he needed some money so he took it, he was genuinely gutted that the start date was on the same day as the final and he missed it 😂😂😂😂
