Default Some of us are looking down the drain
For years I have had it in my head (with a film review as my supposed source) that the inversion of Oscar wilde's familiar 'We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars' - i.e., 'some of us are looking down the drain' - is from STILL CRAZY, which I had not seen. Now I have looked at STILL CRAZY on disc and as far as I can see (and although the line might suit Bill Nighy's character for one) the line isn't there. So what IS it from? - Anthony Baker

Sarah Lancashire (as "Raquel") once used it in Coronation Street, if thats's any good to you!

Derek Wilton's boss in Corrie mentioned it as well.

This was at a time of course when it had some wonderful writing and characters.
