Name that television programme

[Derek Smith]

It was a made for TV film, possibly a short series. The 'hero' drove drove an Elise. His father, who was being cared for by his sister, had alzheimers and for reasons that escape me, she drove off for a dirty weekend in his car.

It took place way up north, possily Birmingham, or even further away.

Really bugging me. I saw the start and for some reason deleted the Sky+. I've been looking in HMV for the series but can't find it.

Can anyone help?

I believe it was this!

[Derek Smith]

Thanks, Raptor. It was really bugging me. I knew it began with S but beyond that I was lost.

I'll buy it from HMV next time I'm in town.

Thanks again. It was really irritating me.

No worries...

Just so you know it's £20 at HMV and only £4.97 at Amazon!

Might wanna save yourself £15 and go with Amazon!

Thanks for the information. Is it worth the £5? I only saw the first few minutes.

Just told my wife, who asked me what the series was called. I sadi Exile but it didn't register. I then said, John Simm. The reporter in State of Play.

Seh said: Oh. That's right. I knew it was Simon Pegg.

Is it worth a fiver? Yes.

Geography's not your strong point, is it?

Nor is my memory all that strong.

Birmingham is north of the Watford Gap so is far up north to us Southerners!

Only 10 miles north though.

Thanks for the help, guys. I bought Exile and we watched in on Easter Monday. Sat through the first two episodes straight off and then watched the final part yesterday.

Well worth the money. Three hours that kept you intrigued right up until the end. The bit with Alzheimers was really quite touching. Nothing revolutionary but well acted and a decent script - not to mention a decent car.

John Simm impressed me in State of Play and he's improved steadily.

<£5 at Amazon. Exile: worth every penny.
