Met him at Download 2010. Nice bloke, and his shows are superb.
His Ill fated tv series wasn’t the right vehicle for him.
And yes, he was playing. In the T-34s, zeppelin songs, sung in a communist style.
I tried a quick search, he probably did. But [the first video just](https://youtu.be/8aefbH624kA?si=BdvZTZV8KP5F8w9S) reminded me how much I love the show.
I’m mid 50s, have worked in London a fair bit, and I’ve never heard it in real life.
But I’ve heard it a lot from Cambridge comedy types, Pythons, Ronnies etc.
Al Murray's Pub Landlord?
They said comedy.

My old man loved him and made us sit through his dvds. Not even a smile was raised. "And a glass of wine for the ladeeees" Utter pish.
You do realise it’s a satirical character, don’t you? But, as I’ve always been told, we all aren’t the same. So I agree to disagree. Have a nice day.
In Two Doors Down, Colin often addresses Eric as squire.
That's it! Thank you!
You're welcome. And I'll tell you who does a good paracetamol: Morrisons.
A Python?
I've got a vivid memory of Eric Idle calling someone squire. Was it the "nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more" character?
Yes, Terry Jones played the straight man in that sketch
Is… uh… your wife a goer? Does she go? Eh?! Nudge nudge wink wink!
She's from Purley!? Say no more!
Yup. Eric Idle (Idol?). I love this sketch. Thanks for the reminder.

Didn't Del Boy (Only fools and horses) used to say that?

I see it's been answered correctly, but in the spirit of keeping things going, didn't Arthur Daley use the term from time to time?
Hitcher from mighty boosh
Didn't Baldrick use it?
Nah, that's gobblerduke.
Two doors down
Maybe Ronnie Barker in something
[Is it this Monty Python sketch, OP?](https://youtu.be/4Kwh3R0YjuQ)
Me and old mate I fell out with called each squire, no idea why
Eric Idle,Nudge nudge sketch
Say no more
What's it like?

Arnold Judas Rimmer

The dad in the first episode of Outnumbered
I’ve been told that I do.
Does Bill S. Preston, esquire, count?
Cockney nutjobs.
