[TR] Endeavour TV series

[John Macartney]

Indeed they are! They just failed to appear on the Acorn website I looked at. Maybe I failed to spend time studying it or the version that Google offered was different to mainstream? Don’t watch much TV anyway as my hearing aids pick up the high pitches and not the low ones, the adverts bore me witless and the dramas are just repeats. There’s a much better choice for me on the radio - especially short wave current affairs progs which I’ve long enjoyed.

Britbox however, has far better material both for drama and comedy. As for the cars, it’s nice to see anything of any make that isn’t Eurobox or Jap***p. For the record, most Triumph owners over here, prefer not to rent their cars to TV companies for the ‘period’ look. There have been a few too many claims for damage on set or mistreatment by TV crews. Owners are not usually allowed to drive them unless it’s a “distant” shot. Not that you get paid much anyway.

>>> So far there has been 2 TR3As shown, one quick car chase where the perp speeds through the country trying to get away from the coppers. The 2nd was what looked like a club outing of some sort where the 3 was just parked next to an AH 3000. One of the last episodes we watched had a TR4A being driven by one of the suspects. Car was parked.
