For years I've been reporting that Mork and Mindy had a character in it called "Arnold Wanker". Well, I was right (do a quick search for "Wanker" on the linked page). Not only that, but there was also an "Annie Wanker". Isn't the internet great! First broadcast in September 1978, the lovely Pam Dawber and the ebullient Mr Robin Williams spent an entire episode talking about wankers... what were they thinking? Surely the word had more than just a hint of Onanism about it back then? It was only 24 years ago for goodness' sake!
