Well worth a watch.
Appreciating that I might be the only one watching The Incredibly Boring Haunting of Bly Manor - a car related question;
In Episode 2 (or maybe 2) a Policeman turned up to investigate reports of an intruder. On leaving he was driving what looked like a 1984/85 Jaguar XJ.
Were these ever used as panda cars? I know Jags were common in the Police in the 60's and 70's but I didnt think they were still being used as late as 1987 when this is supposedly set.

Up to the early 90s according to this, as high speed pursuit cars https://www.autocar.co.uk/slideshow/world%E2%80%99...In Episode 2 (or maybe 2) a Policeman turned up to investigate reports of an intruder. On leaving he was driving what looked like a 1984/85 Jaguar XJ.

Maybe the regular panda car was being serviced

(It was exactly that shape as well)

Really good this. Assume it must have been intended for the cinema, based on the director and prolific cast.(Aaron Sorkin writes/directs).

The Mire
Sometimes on Netflix I follow themes. Last year it was understanding the entire illicit drugs supply chain drama, from every country's perspective.
This month it has been Polish Crime Noir.. I was very entertained by Signs & The Woods... Netflix suggested I should try 'The Mire'
Set in 80s Poland it is suitably austere, but utterly fascinating. As we're on a motoring site, there are loads of Polski Fiat, Wartbergs, Yugos..if you are into CEE Classics.
Like many European dramas there is something odd and scary going on in the forests surrounding a miserable little town in the middle of nowhere... The main characters are journalists investigating the strange goings on.
Very well done I have to say, all of these Polish Dramas are beautifully filmed with interesting characters.

But what has made my teeth itch, besides the appalling accents, is the poorly researched English props... the phones are entirely wrong, the decor clearly Canadian/ North American...
On cars.. Yes chaps, I also I noted that completely misplaced Jaguar Police car... also the incorrectly spaced registration plates on the Jaguar, the Rover and the Silver Shadow and in one scene a Mercedes W124 turned up with North American headlights.
Thank god we've finished it. The story is an adaptation of the 1898 Novella, The Turn of the Screw by Henry James.
[b]Hubie Halloween[/i]
I've never walked out of a film in the cinema and only switched off one film at home before. Hubie was my second switch off, made it 25 minutes in.
Positives? The production design was lovely, but I'm a sucker for the whole small town America/Autumn/Halloween aesthetic. The t-shirts also raised a chuckle.

To The Lake
Finished this Russian virus/zombie series last night. Whilst not very zombie heavy (they’re not really zombies in the standard sense) - it does have something.
The parts are all acted really well, it looks great and the series develops into something I wasn’t expecting- a really good story about people, unlikely relationships and a very torrid time.
Thoroughly enjoyed it - recommended.

Limited release, certainly, but we saw it at the Everyman. Loved it. Watched On The Rocks straight after which was also good, but not the equal of Lost in Translation.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
