[Billyray911]

Starts tonight at 9pm on BBC1 and sounds promising,albeit not the most original of story lines.David Morrisey (Walking Dead) stars as a taxi driver who agrees to be the driver for a criminal gang...

Looks promising...

Opening scene... weak from a PH point of view if we're being critical

Will watch on iPlayer.
(that means I shall, not saying William must watch it)

That plate is far to new for the old E60 BMW they are using

[VinceFox]

I'm watching it, but so far it feels like it's trying to punch way above it's weight.

[Jayyylo]

It's very slow but it's growing on me. Sadly I think the overall story line can only be predicable.

[LadfromManc]

Not bad apart from David Morrissey's multitude of accents.

Not much out of the ordinary, but watchable - i'll be tuning in next week.

I couldn't understand when (after his Police chase) he told his boss he'd had no problem, surely you would say you had so they could change the plates or get another car
Maybe that will be his undoing....






'Tuning in' wtf?

[Mr GrimNasty]

I can't watch Morrissey without thinking of Billy and Icky feeding mars bar to nestlings. Seems like only yesterday.

Tedious fact: MW59 JZX (the plate from that 5 series) comes back as a 2010 Astra SRI, in silver.

you're welcome...

Tedious fact no2:-

"Reg", the guy who had just been released from a six year stretch is actor Alan Rothwell, who played Ken Barlow's brother David, in the first ever episode of Corrie at 7 mins 31secs.......

I'm not convinced that handbraking around every corner is the fastest way to drive a 5-series.

Gene Hunt School of Motoring innit?

[j4ckos mate]

Ha Ha i checked the bmw reg out as well because i was curious if it was an M5 or something,

and Alan Rothwell had a black cab, we got in it once after doing the hazel grove mile of pubs.
