Has anyone notices the uncanny similarity between our very own Alex Codling and Bananaman? One is a square jawed individual who after eating a banana and donning a colourful costume becomes a superhero with incredible abilities, the other is a cartoon character.

Prof, watching Brassed Off this evening I was struck by the similarity between the actor Stephen Tompkinson, and his doppleganger, Alex Codling. The similarity is striking:  One excels at stealing a lineout, the other merely at stealing a scene.
