All this talk of Williams being the last of the independents, the small team up against the big guns, not to mention Patrick Head's admission that he and Frank were ashamed of the team's performance in 2006 got Gurmit thinking.

Readers of a certain age will no doubt remember Steptoe and Son, the classic British TV series from the 60s and 70s - remade in the USA as Sanford and Son - starring Harry H. Corbett and Wilfrid Brambell, and written by the team behind Hancock's Half Hour, Ray Galton and Alan Simpson.
One can see them now, sitting behind Hercules - their less than prancing horse - trawling the streets of Didcot, Patrick, with his impeccable accent calling out for "any old lumber", while Frank mutters something about customer cars.
