A Bit More Than Expected

Sheila (thought bubble): So no worries. We’ll be fine.
Nickey: “Hey, Shee, you’re right on time! Come on in!”

Actor and presenter Peter Purves (b.1939 and still with us) first made a name for himself as Steven Taylor, companion (1965-66) to the first Doctor Who. Popular for many other productions and shows, his name became popular in Cockney rhyming slang for "nervous." Waving hello from across the pond, good sir!
