 Stick asks Spender if he has ever watched  _Magnificent Seven, The (1960)_ (qv), to which he simply gives a wry  look. This is a reference to Jimmy Nail (qv)s role in  _"Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" (1983)_ (qv) in which he and the rest of the  main cast constantly refer to themselves as "The Magnificent Seven",  and the episode was written by "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" writer  Ian La Frenais (qv). Interestingly, another member of that  Magnificent Seven, Christopher Fairbank (qv), was also in that  episode as Joe Phelan.
