How many '70's actors can you spot?
« on: August 22, 2016, 18:40:40 »
Trawling Youtube looking at the demise of the UK car industry, I came across this gem. A word of warning, it does go on a bit, but there really are some stirling performances from several well known faces. BL must have spent a packet and it wasn't for general release.

To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

I enjoyed that! Takes me back to being an apprentice watching 70's health and safety films...

Oh, there's a cast list at the end...

Looks like half the cast of "Minder" with a couple of "Only Fools" chucked in for good measure. Plus the dectective is now selling life insurance on telly. Nice little earner...
