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.
