Suzyyyyy...... but help, what IS Constable Veneer's car?
11 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Here we have an excellent plot, a great cast, competent filming and just a hint of creepiness. Lovely Suzy Martin is terrorised by a telephone perve. Just the sort of incident the Telecommunications Act 2003 was meant to address. It didn't, and it has been misused by police and courts ever since. However, that's another freedom rant altogether.

The plot follows the gorgeous Suzy through a series of incidents, culminating in a set piece encounter with several suspects, and of course that swine Clements leads us astray again and again. The climax is well done and we are left with the feeling that, once again, Thriller has lived up to its name.

Tom Conti portrays a well-mannered Sicilian with suave aplomb.

Gerald Harpers character Greg Miles is delightfully over the top.

My request for help in regard to the car used by Constable Venner may appear trite but, as a long standing owner and player of the excellent Network box set, every time I watch 'If it's a man, hang up' I try to identify the obvious BL ADO 18 derivative. Help!
