She doesn't point out why the extra Marley might have been given the name Robert [1] (or maybe I missed a subtle raised eyebrow somewhere), nor did she show the shop front entitled Micklewhite's [2], but I don't suppose those fun facts are particularly relevant to a comparison / review.

[1] Bob Marley. Geddit? Funny joke is funny.

[2] Michael Caine's birth name was Maurice Micklewhite. He only made the legal change to his stage name fairly recently, well after the Muppet Christmas Carol even, because he found that people were confused and made suspicious by his documents not having "his name" on them when he was travelling.

Ooooh I didn’t catch the Marley joke, brilliant. And I didn’t know that about Michael Caine! Great insights!

Not many people know that.
