knew they weren't going to make it home in one piece.

On things like The Bill, look out for a rather older car than it should be.

I once saw a piece where they used a Classic Saab 900, much cherished
by Saab enthusiast. But as it was old, you just knew they were going
to crash it - my heart sank...

Worst one to me was when they trashed a very nice Zephyr II on The Royal.

Speaking of which, I watched a re-run of the drama about the hunt for
the Yorkshire Ripper last week, and was struck by their use of a Mk1
Escort panda car, apparently in 1979 when it would have been at least 5
years old, and a HB Viva panda, which was still parked outside the
police station in the last scene. By 1981 that car would have been at
least 11 years old...

Oh no! Bastards. They /appeared/ to blow up a DS in the film Diva, but I
suspect they stop-framed something tatty in its place.
