Saw snippets of it but never more than five minutes.

It looks like the Yesterday channel (on Freeview) has something lined up that will attract attention from some of the Forum members; "Retro Electro Workshop". Nothing (other than 'Coming Soon') to say when it will be airing.

This is starting on Tuesday 18/07, at 21:00.

I just did a Google search, and found this;

"For those of you trying to figure out what the vehicle is he is driving, its a 80's (after 1983) Fiat 125p cut down the front with a Ursus C-330 tractor nose/hood? In the middle. Looks pretty cool though, points for originality! Movie was ok, but car was the star in my book."

Internet Movie Car Database is the best place to look if you ever wonder "What's that car?" in a movie/TV show etc.

It usually comes up with the answers, but "My car and the Knights Templar" one is maybe too new being a 2023 release, so doesn't come up using that title. Looks like its a Polish production, and using its alternative Polish title IMCDB but does come up with a Polish 1971 mini-series of the same name (in Polish "Pan Samochodzik i Templariusze"), but again nothing for the 2023 Film.

Tonight, at 20:00 on BBC1 is a program that should pique interest. "Electric Cars: What they really mean for you". It is a two part program, but I don't know when part 2 will be aired.

[Rp0thejester]

Oh that's simple, it will be showed after electric bills are cheaper!

First shown in 2010, missed it then but a nice visual feast for anyone who is familiar with Durham Cathedral, certainly shows it from some different viewpoints, and some nice aerial stuff too. Series available on I-player
Despite its title, the series is more about architecture and construction, not climbing which is just the incidental means to the end of getting close up views you wouldn't normally see.

The whole series is being re-run on BBC4 at 7.30pm looks like on consecutive weekdays. Monday night 7.30 has the Lincoln Cathedral Episode number 2.

Last Of The Summer Wine - Wesley was often seen working on a 2cv in his shed, usually with steam billowing out the door Even had just a chassis running round a field that broke in half when testing an ejector seat with Barry driving, the front half carried on.
I suppose they used 2cv/Dyane’s because the bodywork is essentially removed.

Even had just a chassis running round a field that broke in half when testing an ejector seat

I believe they did that easily enough anyway before the advent of a galvanised chassis
