The Kev Mulholland bit was very interesting, although safe to say all is forgiven. The Rob interjections in this episode had me laughing out loud.

Yes, thought Rob's faux (or is it?!) jealousy was very well done.

Class from Rob. He’s some boy isn’t he haha

Can sympathise with Rob, I too missed that game.

Was struck by Covid.

In some respects this really is a distraction from the rest of the series, but still pretty good.
Nice light humour of the 'jealousy' from Rob towards Ryan's attendance at the Stockport cup game and the adulation from the fans (remember also that Rob had never witnessed a victory at that point!)
And I'd forgotten how sublime Mullin's goal was in that game - what a player.
I thought it was brave of the show to show all the dissatisfaction of the staff and some players with Ryan just turning up and disrupting everything for a commercial. I remember some posts on RP about that at the time. Yet again it was confronted and not hidden in the documentary. It really shows the compromises that have to be made with this 'celebrity driven funding' model.
A nice cameo of Rob being an excellent Welsh ambassador and singing the national anthem in the Hollywood celebration of Wales too - I doubt that Hollywood had heard of Wales since 'How green was my Valley'. It's still not really sunk in for me how amazing this all is!
The one thing I didn't get was the opening sequence with Humphrey's walking audition for Star Wars. Maybe it was to introduce the Hollywood connection, but I don't think it worked.

Where is Humphrey's house where he was doing the Star Wars audition at the start? Looks bang tidy.
