UmBongo Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Yes do you know him? Looking at the credits I've changed my mind I can see him being a Mark Fielding I think the signatures at the end relate to when the person appeared on screen.

egg Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 This is definitely art. I love the long tracking shots - they set the tone. It is perfect golden age BBC.

sierraman Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 No but like I say I'd love to know who the fat rep in the Cavalier is. Where are you Mr Fat Rep? warren t claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendry Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Just sat and watched these again! the guy with the Maestro made me laugh, although i did really feel sorry for him being foisted with one of those piles of turd, my old man had one and it was a pile of crap, still at least he had such fripperies as a rear wiper instead of a blanking cap! Does anyone know the song playing at the start of the one with the mk2 Fiesta XR2, its familiar but I cant think the name of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Longbridge Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Ive sent an e mail to Martin Parr. Fingers crossed he gets back to me. Will keep updated.He replied! Fruitless exercise though... This is his response: "HI,No we've had no contact since the filming, Martin" That's a bugger then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Didn't he even know who the fat rep was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Didn't he even know who the fat rep was?As you can tell from his reply, he wasn't exactly forthcoming with the info. I've tried one more time this evening: "Hi Martin ,Many thanks for getting back to me! That's a shame you've lost contact with the people in the videos. Do you have any more details (or even any memories) on any of them? Fascinated to find out more about them! Regards" He'll probably tell me to FRO. Will update as and when. warren t claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Well, the reply was rather quick. And disappointing. This bloke clearly isn't interested. Proper shame, man. "Sorry, it is so long ago, I feel very distant from all of this now.Martin" My response:"Hi Martin,Thanks anyway. A shame, but one of those things I guess. All the best" Surely some bugger knows at least one of the people filmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlabamaShrimp Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 What a proper knob! Saying that at least he replied at all. Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Their signatures are at the end. Can't make out whose who. I'd say the fat rep was from Barnsley by his accent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
