We took it outside the pub and the first thing he did was grab me (A VERY unexpected move for someone who claimed they were a gypsy boxer), I immediately applied a wrist lock, elbowing him in the face as i did so and throwing him into a car door headfirst, he this proceeded to hide under the car and shout apologies to me.
While i agree with the general premise of the video ... never say never.

. . . The question is not if they work but, when and how?
Thanks for sharing. However, no one said wrist locks never work.
Can wrist locks work against an attacker outside of a controlled practice environment?

I didnt actually say anyone did ... 'never say never' is just a turn of phrase. maybe misused.

My response was ... yes ... hence the little story.

Absolutely. Shit works when you adapt to the situation.

But generally I am not a fan of qinna techniques that require you to use both hands to control just one of the opponent's arms -- techniques that tie yourself up both physically and psychologically: "grabbing for the sake of grabbing."
Ideally, you should be able to temporarily control both of his arms with just one hand, leaving the other hand free to apply other techniques in combination, such as joint breaks, strikes, throws, or takedowns.
