Great episode for me this one. Great characters, great lines.
I made this little clip a few years ago now and its got over 100,00 views on Utbube
Its just such a great opening scene...and I just love Arthurs line: "I said to Her Indoors only this morning...I said....no my dear you cant have it...Mr Rushmore is a gentleman and he deserves a gentleman"s conveyance..."
Fantastic.

Just watched this one again...Umbrella style...and what a great ep it is...Terry on good form, Wally West, June Whitfield and Jimmy Nail playing their parts really well...but a big shout out for GC in this one in particular for me...with Arthur being the thread throughout...his scenes with WW, Mr De-Ath and June Whitfield being perfect as usual!

Yes, another top episode. Just fantastic when Arthur goes into overdrive with his patter on the car lot. Not that Mr Rushmore was having any of it. And the grass growing out of the bonnet 😂. Terry giggling in the portacabin at Arthur and then asking Arthur in the Winchester if she had been after his little cherry !!

Another one of my favourites. I laughed so hard when Arthur was laying on the patter to Mr Rushmer, only Arthur could try and get away with grass growing out of a car bonnet - "it looks like some sort of flora" or "have you tried trimming it with nail scissors". The cast is first rate - Harry Scott and Jimmy Nail. I think this was Arnie's first appearance. Chisholm is at his best here - even quoting Latin. A brilliant turn by June Whitfield as randy Mrs Murdcoch. A great story line and a proper scrap for Terry to get involved in. A very satisfactory ending, all rounded off with a drink at the Winchester, leaving Chisholm to fend off Mrs Murdoch. Excellent episode - it's mustard throughout. 5 out of 5.

Watched this for the third time last night and it's still a great episode. The grass growing in the car is one of my all time favorite moments in the series.  |

Quite common in the motor trade at the time! Corrosion under the wheel arches and on the underbody stuffed with newspaper/cardboard and given a coating of filler was another one, along with the more infamous sawdust in the gearbox..  (my uncle had a Des/Arnie type of operation in Maida Vale back then) |

Half way into this and enter Jimmy Nail with the worst attempt at an Irish accent I've heard. Size apart, his Geordie accent is just too dominant for the role. Enjoyable episode so far though.
Edit - a very good episode with the car lot sequence the stand out but a point dropped for JN's accent which is just ridiculous. I don't think Joe Public would have noticed if he played the role in pure Geordie but I'm sure the attempts at multiple regional Irish accents would irritate others.

A few uncredited boat races in this too... the policeman who finds Terry at the burning car lot is Owen Brenman, who later went on to be Victor Meldrew's neighbour. IMDb here: www.imdb.com/name/nm0003859/ Saw this the other day on ITV4 and didn't notice that. That's interesting. I still haven't seen this all the way through, I should get the DVDs out really. But this is an excellent episode. |

I agree, he should have stayed away from trying to attempt an Irish accent. Im sure there is Geordie born travellers, he should have just played the part as an English born traveller, |

Love this episode, one of the best imo.
I have watched it countless times and have never noticed that part of the registration number on one of the hearses is BYE

This is on Britbox as one of the best episodes and who am I to argue.
Brilliant, although a few cuts on this one on Britbox.
