Monday Minutiae

In the movie A Hard Day's Night, the Beatles are accompanied by Paul's grandfather Wilfrid Brambell (not actually related to Paul in real life). In various parts of the movie, he is referred to as being "very clean". What makes this so funny is that in the UK, Wilfrid was best known for his role on the BBC television program Steptoe and Son, which features a running joke of Wilfrid's character Albert being referred to as a "dirty old man".
