Just been watching 'V' on Syfy Channel, and the first credit at the end is the Co-Producer . . . . . . . . . Brian Wankum.

Wouldn't you change your name?

I suppose it could have been worse, he could have been called Ian . . . . . . then he'd sign his name 'I. Wankum'

:grin:

P.S. No offence to any Ians out there. Any first name with the initial 'I' would do the trick!! :laugh:

Thought I might of dreamt this but good old wiki backed me up..

From a series of Mork and Mindy starring Robin Williams

Quote:

The episode featuring the character Arnold Wanker was extensively edited when transmitted on the British network ITV as the word wanker, although a reasonably recognizable surname in the United States and of German origin, is in British English a vulgar term for a person who masturbates. When the episode was repeated on the more liberal Channel Four, some years later no alterations were made.

There is an employment agent in Belgium that I have dealt with called Richard Wanke.

I went to school with a girl called Peggy Gooley, she had an older and younger sister so three Gooleys I knew of.

The bloke directly beneath her has a pretty unfortunate name (or very close to being anyway!)
