The League of Gentlemen
Pop first appears in Series 1, where he meets up with his two sons, Richie and Al. When Richie explains to him that nine Maverick bars were stolen by some kids while he was manning a newspaper stand, Pop flies into a rage, preparing to beat his son with his belt. However, Al convinces him to top, to which Pop agrees to do so, declaring Al to be his 'only son', effectively disowning Richie.

Pop appears again in Series 2, where he meets Al's new girlfriend Patricia for the first time. After making them dinner, he disturbs Patricia with his antics, talking to her about how he was worried that Al was homosexual (having never had a girlfriend despite being 33) as well as making lecherous comments about her. Eventually, he ends up scaring Patricia away, leaving Al in tears.
