Bristol's legendary kebab van with a Neighbours-inspired name made it onto the small screen this evening (March 5).
Featuring in a segment on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway the late night food van, which is a staple here in Bristol, may have only been on screen briefly but left a lasting impression on viewers, in part thanks to the massive crowd that had gathered.
But it was what came after that shocked the Bristol crowd, the viewers at home, the team in the studio and the staff running the van in the city - Jason Donovan finally got to visit (and eat at) the Jason Donervan.

The first brief appearance of the van on the ITV Saturday night show saw the huge Bristol crowd cheering and waving behind presenter Andi Peters, who has been travelling the length and breadth of the UK to visit 'punny' food vans, the crowd definitely did Bristol and Jason Donervan justice.
In between giving viewers competition instructions, Andi Peters and Jason Donervan's owner exchanged a number of quips, with the latter telling Andi: "I was promised I'd get to meet Ant & Dec", to which Andi replied: "I was promised I'd get to meet a soapstar".
Andi then asked the team at the Jason Donervan if its namesake Jason Donovan (the Neighbours star) had ever visited and, when they said "no", he spoke to the camera and called on Jason to come and get a kebab "literally with your name on it".
Ant & Dec's show continued in the studio until, at around 8:15pm, the camera flashed back to Andi Peters in Bristol and, to everyone's surprise, Jason Donovan emerged from the crowd to grab a takeaway from the Bristol legend, calling it "pretty special".
Those among the crowd said that nobody knew he was coming and, when filming was done, Jason posed for photos with the Jason Donervan team before leaving in a limo.
In the studio, Paloma Faith commented that Jason Donovan eating from a Donervan was "high quality entertainment" - and now the Bristol eatery can brag that two Jasons have met - Jason Donovan and Jason Donervan.
We wouldn't be surprised if there's a new photo hanging up in the Jason Donervan by this time tomorrow.
