His name is David Roscoe in the show so I'm guessing it's not the Zach link

I was going to say it's a bowie reference. I'm pretty sure they confirmred it. Especially as they seem to like to play with the names like that (the doctor who assistants -take that twins, freddie (Mercury) etc...)

Freddie (Mercury) David 'Ziggy' (David Bowie / Ziggy Stardust) Robbie (Williams) and Jason (Orange) - Take That As for the Lomaxes, they're named after Doctor Who assistants and the ages of them follows the chronological order their Doctor Who namesakes appeared in the show. Leela - 1977 - 1978 (4th Doctor) Tegan (Jovanka) 1981 - 1984 (4th/5th/6th Doctors) Peri (Brown) 1984 - 1986 (5th/6th Doctors) Rose (Tyler) 2005 - 2013 (9th/10th Doctors) |

Did she? I didn't think it had ever been mentioned. I just worked it out, though I confess I didn't get the Take That! reference. I don't know if this is the explanation for Joe, but David Bowie's son, Zowie Bowie, changed his name to Joe.
Oh god, maybe that was an attempt at foreshadowing; Ziggy's really Joe's dad, despite being younger than him. It is Hollyoaks... |

I can't recall when or the exact context but I'm certain she did.
