Comedian Jack Rooke said that he wanted to celebrate Watford “for what it does have” in his new Channel 4 comedy Big Boys, as he called his final episode a “bit of a love letter to Watford”.

Of course, being the quick-witted comedy it is, the way he expressed his adoration for the town was by immediately calling it a “s***hole” at the start of the episode, adding that is “full of love and kindness and community”.

“Yes, Watford may also be a bit of a s***hole, but we’ve three Harvesters, so shut up,” Rooke narrates.

But that’s me getting ahead of myself.
