[TR] Heartbeat

[DAVID MASSEY]

And if you do go to You Tube, check out Project Binky.  Watch a 12-year project putting a Toyota Celica drivetrain in a classic Mini.  In 45 or so episodes.

 We don't care, we will watch anything British. If they had a streamed version of the Flower Pot Men, I would watch it.

Ye gods, the BBC is obviously still foisting yet more prehistoric programmes on the long-suffering?
That series was shot the better part of at least forty years ago, long before unleaded fuel was available in the UK and when even the tight-fisted BBC was willing to pay a London Warren Street autotrader *very* nominal money to buy a beat-up car, pay someone to give it a good clean and try not to get the cameras too close when the car(s) were 'in shot'.
There are two other angles as well.
The police uniforms were discontinued in the early eighties (I wore one when I was in the voluntary reserve force) in favour of body armour and digital tech, while the motorcycle that puts in the occasional appearance is a watercooled Ariel (standard police issue in the day) and there really are even fewer of those gracing our roads today than rusted out Heralds.
