Ashes To Ashes - mikesumner - 16 Mar 2008
Hello chaps,
I know this is nothing to do with our forum, but so sad am I that when I notice some little detail I feel compelled to express it some way or it drives me slowly mad.
Basically am I the only person that noticed that in last week's "Ashes To Ashes" there was a mk4 Ford Escort in the background of one shot, even though these were not introduced until 1986 (although admittedly wearing a "W" reg plate).
Perhaps getting my 1981 Talbot Solara in the background in the next series is not such a daft idea if they are clearly so short of cars that they'd make such a gaff.
Feel better now having got that off my chest.

Can you remember where in the program this was? I have it saved on my pc so I can have a look.

I was thinking the same thing about the Austin Maestro (although it was hardly going to keep me up at night twitching
) that drove past Caroline's front door (she opens the door when the taxi driver arrives and a Maestro can be seen passing by in the background). I thought they didn't come out until 1983 and the entry on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Maestro confirms it...As 'this' 1981 is a figment of Alex's imagination it doesn't matter if it isn't accurate :wink:

I agree with what's above. If it's her mind's image of 1981 then it doesn't need to be accurate. That was what they said about the policing in Life On Mars - no police officers ever really acted that way* but Sam Tyler had seen it in films which meant that's how he imagined it.
* some police officers did act like that but it's thought that they were copying the films rather than the other way around...

I think the Escort was in the background at between 15 - 20 minutes into the programme.
It was when all four of the main characters were getting into Gene's Quattro that you could see it behind Alex wearing a "W" reg plate.
I'm sure you'll find it if you watch that part of the show again.

hi
its strange why they didn't go for a w plate XR3 or something.
there should be plenty of MK1 fiestas and Austin metro too.
my dad had a W plate Austin princes!. and i had a V plate mk2 escort in 1985

The only time a Delorean was driven on UK roads in 1981 was in Northern Ireland or around Norfolk. :lol: :lol:
Also the police did not carried guns or shoot them back in 1981 only in Northern Ireland, Funny that! :lol:
As mike said its only a TV programme.
