I felt I was slightly charitable giving this 4/5 - all round it's a fair reflection. There are a few moments that are a bit silly - but there were also some very fine moments,too.

Was going to say Gorky's-and euroschild - but the Super Furries are one of the very best (and coolest) bands - ever!

You need to get those smudges mate. I can remember the day very well. Yes - they're down Mum & Dad's,somewhere. The train was pulled by a green livery class 47. i took some photos,as said - just need to find them!

Blue just edges it - despite the brilliance of "The White Album" & Sgt Peppers,Help is my favourite studio album though & that belongs on the Red compilation

Funny how he bumps into him,in central London so often!....... Not a bad episode - but a bit week in areas. I noticed the Matchbox models in the shop - Barry The Book & I would've been drooling over those,back in the day - even now!

I've mentioned this before - Barry The Book,we went to Par train station to watch the train pull into the station & turnaround! Remember seeing them - stretching their legs on the platform,whilst the engine turned around. Still have photos ( at parents house) somewhere!

Some priceless moments - "Terry - shooters"😀 Just a little far fetched - with the shooters etc on show...... Great cast - again though,and motors!

Just watched this on ITV4 - for the 101st time! All good stuff though. A great episode & you can see why the early examples had the intended higher emphasis on Terry being the main character ahead of Arthur. Some great locations & cars used. Loved that early Scirocco outside the office of Fenton's. High quality cast & decent & as said - more believable storyline. Also spotted a Fiat Mirafiori,Citroen CX & another fave - an Alfasud Ti!

3 to the obvious ones make a strong case,Lennon for Imagine album & the excellent Instant Karma. Macca for Band On The Run & the greatest Bond song ever in Live & Let Die Harrison's All Things Must Pass was another masterpiece & for this (just) gets my vote.

Tesco - because they are run by eurest & the prices & choice are poor.
They are all slow at M&S,Sainsburys & Waitrose - but at least you feel like yr getting some quality.

Yes-not the greatest finish to Terry's tenure. I still watch these ITV4 repeats - but not now,we're in Ray era again & I can't stand them!! I gave them a go,back in 91 - but hated them as much then as I do now! I'd rather watch Magnum!

I agree - I liked the carpet cleaning venture,especially his encounters on his first day - the lonely old woman,and the lonely bar manager.......

Love this one & always have. Watched it numerous times & it was one of the few I had videoed off the TV years ago. Was it me - or was it "less cut" than usual? There seemed to be a couple more of the scenes that I don't recall seeing in previous ITV4 repeats.

I don't remember the Xmas special,for some reason?!?
Think my fave from this series was "Fiddler On The Hoof" just ahead of "Sorry Lorry Morrie"

10 years on & the show still had class,admittedly - a couple of episodes were lacking a bit,but was still a great TV programme. I was much older by this series (about 18) Barry The Book & I enjoyed watching these a lot!
