To visit Stoke? Once more than I've been.

To answer your question, Taiellin, 'Nina' is certainly used in the UK, but not often.

That's actually very good. Take the rest of the night off. Please.

Is Nina a popular name in English speaking countries? We use this name too.

It was popular for a while back in the day.

Blimey. This pilot’s Mister Charisma, isn’t he?
 
Taiellin
I see. Thank you for your answers. I am more interested about Tanya, I think. I see this name quite often in the books or hear in the movies as a full name. For us, it is short for Tatiana.

They're trying to act better than the puppets would.

I trust he’s actually called ‘Chin’ and it’s not just a body-shaming nickname
 
Cygnus Bazza
Co-pilot looks like Peter Gabriel in the ‘Games Without Frontiers’ vid – 1980, strangely…

Love the oil slick effect!

Unimaginatively, his real, well acting name is Anthony Chinn. Couldn't think of another Oriental name.

There's a lot of close-up head shots in this one. Mostly Straker, to show he's thinking. Or having an emotion or something.
