Used to see young Mr Bradley on a regular basis, teaching Back Gammon in a lift!

David Bradley was almost Neville in Auf Wiedersehen Pet.

It actually looks like him. Could be a non-controversial statue for once. Although there'll no doubt be someone who's got a problem with exploitation of raptors in films or such like.

Great book and great film. The head teacher scene reminded me of Mr Conlon in St Peter's in the 1970's.

I will pay this statue a visit.
