Heads up - New series of "Car Wars" - BBC1 next Weds
Discussion
Just thought I'd give you all an early heads up about this series.
It starts on Wednesday 15 February 2006, BBC1, 2100 GMT.
From the BBC website:
Car Wars
Wed 15 Feb, 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm 60mins
Jamie Theakston narrates a three-part series following Greater Manchester Police's team of 20 high-speed pursuit officers. Manchester has one of the highest rates of car crime in the country - the city's gangs who steal cars are violent and use stolen cars for ram raids, burglaries and robberies and because of this Manchester is the only police force in the country given approval to use unmarked high performance cars.
Subtitles Stereo Widescreen
A mate of mine in GMP is in it, and has had the film crew with them for about the last eight months or so. Mate tells me the programmes are well put together, with a lot of the usual mickey taking and swearing left in, and some decent jobs shown (no 33 in a 30, I'm told...)

I wouldn't mind if you could let me know the name of the cameraman
Wouldn't hurt to send him/her a CV

We met the car wars squad a few years back
We were 4 up (4 big dodgy looking blokes as they phrased it
)in a New Izuzu Trooper, our driver was somewhat pushing the speedlimit on the way to a job in Piccadily Gardens They ran the reg no, and it came back as not local and they gave us a tug, back and fronted by two unmarked cars, checked us and the motor out, tried a few trick questions and once satisfied we were who we said we were, and what we were doing miles from home they sent us on our way with a polite reminder about the limits.
We still have a laugh with the boss about one of the officers comments "By the way mate, I can lip read in your wing mirror"
