Five minutes of heaven BBC 2 5/04
did anyone watch this , how can the BBC make such a simple mistake, when watching a drama set in the past as soon as I see something that's not from the past (such as a CCTV camera I spotted in a recent drama set in 1965) i'm not in 1975

I was really looking forward to this programme and it didn't disappoint, the one thing that let it down was the Ford Cortina they stole, it should have had NI number plates on for a start which was bad enough.

It was a bloody R registration, 1n 1975, R reg is 1977 and it had rectangular headlights, early Cortina's had round headlights

If all they needed was a car that was registered before 1975 there must be thousands available, did they think no one would notice or was it the 1st old car they found:bonk:

Putting the technicalities aside I thought it was superbly acted out by Nesbit & Neeson. Quality drama.

So did I, especially Nesbit, the car just bugged me, as soon as I see something so obviously out of place the illusion is ruined, we all know it was filmed in 2008 but driving round in a car that wasn't made until 1977 is a real cockup by the BBC
