Trivia
In an episode of the BBC Scottish sitcom "Still Game",
a character called Big Innes arrives in Craiglang to sort
out some business. He constantly requests: "got any Mi-
dori?". Everyone has been told to hide the Midori from
Big Innes, as they all know the consequences should he
find some. When the character Isa walks into the pub
(The Clansman), at the end of the show, she is carrying
a bottle of Midoru - the same bottle that Jack and Victor
(main characters) had tried to keep out of sight of Big
Innes. Big Innes drinks the whole bottle in one go, and
completely trashes "The Clansman"
In the 2011 film Fright Night, David Tennant’s charac-
ter Peter Vincent consumes copious amounts of Midori.
In the video for Cobra Starship’s pop hit "You Make
Me Feel..."(2011) The band, and several other patrons, are
sitting at a table in the club drinking Midori straight.
