best thing about that program is the incorrectly badged mk3 Cortina

Poor Guy

last episode, anyone see the clio and the ford focus parked next to the football pitch?

GaryK

what because it isnt a 2000 gxl?

What a great programme though, gets better each week and its the last in the series next week. No PG I didnt but Im curious now, the other week in the pub they were playing pool with red and yellow *****, im 99% sure back in those days all pool ***** were spots and stripes but I *may* be wrong.

Assuming he is in a coma then everything we see is through his thoughts and memories, maybe he has a dilemma of his next car choice?
Should I go for the Clio or Focus mmm…?

Poor Guy

I want Annie.

Miss Kinky

it has different badges on the front and back

Another funny episode last night, the guvnor is so funny - "isnt that a double negative, or did they not teach you anything at nutter school"

The modern bits that you see in the background, such as the UPVC windows last night - they are so blatent I wonder if they have increased steadily from the start to indicate he is starting to return?

mart360

According to the Beeb..

the series is so popular a second series is planned, but

the last episode will be a cliff hanger,,,,,

so will it be a return to 73 or 06, or a flit between the two??

It is a great series, but what's happened to the music in it? Sam needs to pull his finger out and find who nicked the soundtrack

GaryK

Yes I remember reading its not a 'pukka' GXL even to the point of the headlights have been changed and its a 1600 not a 2000 AFAIK, why they couldnt get hold of one its not *that* rare a car.

acts of kill kill carnage

me too

hopefully i'll have the whole series on DVD next week

one of the best programs i've watched in a long time

apparently this series will be left as a cliff hanger as the BBC are considering a second series

acts of kill kill carnage

You can buy it on DVD from here

Amazing how clean all the cars are

supertouring

Was wondering if he will stay in 73 for the next series or move forward to 80s or something? Would be interesting.

All the lamp posts are modern as well. I try not to look too hard as it can spoil the show

yoza

I cant help looking for mistakes.... modern planes, modern cars, sky dishes, UPVC doulble glazing, phone masts, house alarms, and of course watches....how sad am I.


On the subject of sadness, I do the same when watching HeartBeat on a Sunday night.....I cant believe Ive admitted to watch that...

Poor Guy

have you noticed the barmans voice changing from jamaican to a more northern voice in close ups

scoobynutta555

Yeah I noticed that in the last episode, thought it was a bit strange.

Dream Weaver

Also spotted that last time

dtriggs

The Barman's voice is meant to be like that you numpties. Was explained in first episode as he feels the Jamaican accent is better for image. Also his normal voice is used when he helps Sam do the right thing.

GaryK

Yes probably tracked down mint examples and paying the owners a nice little fee for using em, if only I could get paid for letting em use my '73 TR6!

scoobynutta555

I haven't seen the first episode, in fact I've only seen three episodes.

In many cases you can - there are a few car places that specifically have people on their books for this very reason, but you have to be willing to let other people drive your pride and joy. My father has had a number of classic cars - the last was a 1948 Jaguar MK IV and this was used in a number of TV series. Because of its age, they let him drive it, so he'd get dressed up in a chauffeur's uniform for the TV show... was quite fun. You don;t do it to make money, you do it for the fun of being there. And you need to be flexible with timing etc as you may have to wait 2-3 days to record a 1 min part, so if you have a job it's hard.

Back to LOM, wish they would release a soundtrack but they say they have no plans to...

BOB.T

Did anyone else cringe and worry about the car when they slid over the Capri bonnet the other night!

Dream Weaver

Yes, was very funny though
