I missed Tuesday 24th. January's episode of Police Camera Action on HTV wales, OK the cat sat on the remote and recorded over it; the cat really did, honest.
Anyone have any idea where I can get to see it again. I've heard there are some good bits I can use with "Pass Plus" drivers ; the art of how not to do it on the motorway.
Last night's episode was a classic. Firstly Alistair was talking about sat nav becoming common in new cars. Showing off fairly dated circa 2002 models.
Then he said, some cars even have TV's, cue a shot of the TV with This Morning on, presented by John Leslie!
Later on Alistair had a ride in a James Bond car (on the pretext of it going 180 miles an hour, but not on public roads unlike these drivers). Alistair is there in a white suit and bow tie. He even said "The name's Stewart Alistair Stewart"
And of course it was copyright 2002 Carlton Television
Does anyone know if this has a chance of being repeated? I missed it last night (as well as Imagine) as I was listening to GMR?
It sounded good, doesn't help considering these are new episodes.
Well I've answered my own question here, Men & Motors are going to show it now, it starts at 6.00pm on Friday with a whole Night dedicated to it, so I presume a regular slot beckons after it, so I'm not complaining, it'll be good to see some of the old episodes.
I see Men and Motors have started showing the original series from 1994! (Complete with old 'ITV' endboard). I notice Alastair looks younger and has a much more laid back style of presenting/commentating. He also speaks mainly from a studio (or Police footage volt) instead of speeding about in a Ferrari or from weird locations.
Honestly, the things they do to 'up the ratings'!
EDIT: Its also the programme now where Alastair admits he was breathalised and lost his license. Thats all very well, but years later....he did it again!
The show ends with the UFO's that turned out to be Airships!
Men and Motors are currently showing the same 4/5 episodes from 1994 and 1995 at the moment, there was a good special one yesterday when they followed Police who had to make it from North London to South London in half an hour to deliver a kidney to a Hospital which was a patient needed to live, and she survived, it's the only episode where they interview the Police.
Plus they've also shown that classic clip of two students who bought a battered old Austin Mini for £5, they drove it from Bristol to Poole, the Police ordered it off the road, and the lads got £15 scrap for it. Classic!
Today’s 5 episodes shown from 11am today were a mix from 3 different series
1 (No title name) but ends with the UFO 1994
2 Danger! Drivers Ahead 1994
3 Safety First 1995
4 The Liver Run 1995
5 Driven to Distraction 1996
All had Carlton logos at the end except the 2nd Episode, which stopped with the Optoman Television Production Logo.
