Crocodile Shoes???
Jimmy Nail had a hit with the song Crocodile Shoes - he was not in a drama series by that name. He was in a series set in Newcastle called Spender. You my think I’m nit picking but it’s inaccuracies like these that makes me think what else is incorrect in this otherwise fantastic podcast series.
