Design For Life Question?
I remember reading / hearing somewhere that the lyrics to Design For Life were inspired by an episode of Cracker featuring Robert Carlysle as a Liverpool Fan who had lost family in the Hillsborough Disaster... Or something like this.

The reason I'm interested is because my girlfriend's mum had a Cracker boxset for christmas "The Complete Cracker," and would like to know what the episode is called as I'd love to see it!

Can anybody confirm if this is accurate, and if so, does anybody know what the episode called?

It was the episode with Robert Carlysle as a Liverpool fan but don't know what the episode was called. I'm sure someone on here will know though!

I think it was in the EMG anniversary DVD he said one of the lyrics that inspired Design For Life was about the episode of Cracker with Robert Carlyle.

The Hillsborough link may be totally unsubstantiated in this case though!
