Paddy teaches him a few cool moves the following day, and they return to the club dressed as sailors in order to blend in. The pair thus decide to go out to a nightclub to let off some steam and forget their troubles, but Max's uncoordinated dancing spoils the night and he ends up fighting with some sailors home on shore leave. This leads to several arguments, especially when they realise the television doesn't have any speakers. In Dover, Max and Paddy buy a plasma television from an Irish crook called Gypsy Joe (played by Brendan O'Carroll). Kay and McGuinness themselves sang it in the opening sequences of episodes 2 to 6.

Max is the older and more sensible of the two, roughly 40 years old, and usually pretending to have more life experience than he has actually had, including a stint in the army. Peter Kay touched on this in the DVD commentary of Phoenix Nights, saying that he should have told the production company to buy a larger Motor Home than the Ford as he was going to use it in the spin off.

Since I'm originally from the Bolton area, I recognised quite a few of the locations in the first few episodes and figured that there's bound to be some die-hard Peter Kay fans out there, surfing t'Internet trying to find out where those locations are.
