Filming Heartbeat

Post by **moggie-tom** » Tue Aug 25, 2009 8:07 pm

There are some interesting photos of a minor on this website under the section named 'action scenes' and at the very bottom of the page.

Maybe not for the faint hearted

No way to treat a Minor

looks like it was a bit of a wreck before it was torched.

There was also an episode where 'vernon Scribbs' had a modified minor which he bought to race. That went up in flames

I really should get out more

Most of the people my age would never dream of watching Hearbeat... then again they'd never dream of owning a minor

I always watch it, even the repeats everyday on ITV3. I managed to get my parents to take a diversion when we were on holiday so we could go to Goathland (Aidensfield)

Certainly get some stick about it, once when I was down the pub with some mates I went home to watch Heartbeat then went back out

Oh and it's Scripps

I'd watch it, but the eps I've seen all involved a classic getting mangled in some way. A Mk1 Mini wrapped around a tree and a Vauxhall Victor crashed down a hill spring to mind.

there are some closeup pics of this car on the IMCDB and it does look rusty though.

I rather like it (As you might guess from my name). I am sometimes amused by some of the obvious gaps in the writers' knowledge of classic cars - like when the Anglia Police car is able to mix it with things like Lotus Cortinas or Mini Coopers

.

I wish my namesake would get some new wood!!

Yeh how they keep up on a 125 bike. I wasn't sure if your name was a reference to heartbeat or if it was your real name, now I know

There was one episode where Alf had a H-reg car (think it was a Morris 1100) and it wouldn't start, he said it was because it's an old banger although it would have been brand new!
