TVRs on tele....

[pstruck]

Did anyone see that adaption of 'Canterbury Tales' on tv last night?

I missed it, but have just been told by a mate that the opening sequence featured one of the main characters driving a Cerb. Trouble is it was miss-firing and generally not behaving properly. Is this really the sort of bad press/image programme makers should be giving such a fine British sports car marque?!

Anyone got any examples of Tivs being portrayed more favorably?

Sorry r4 dhc, just seen your thread!

It had run out of petrol i) as it rolled to a halt they clearly showed the fuel gauge on zero and ii) at end of story it became clear it was nicked! R...

Fair dinkum! So the Cerb came out of it ok...only based on what I had been told.

I was very pleased to see one of the main characters driving a TVR right at the beginning of the program, and but was immediately dismayed when the 'on no, the car's playing up' sequence began. Luckily, as Rich says, this was shown to be due to a lack of petrol, although this did mean that the Cerbie didn't really feature for the rest of the program, except in a few background shots.

Was watching it up until the adverts, turned over for a bit of soft-porn on Bravo and then missed the Tuscan which was at the start of the second half!
Did I miss anything?
