    Storyline

    Edit
    Oliver advertises his car for sale and the vicar shows an interest, lending Oliver his vintage Bentley, which he is considering selling. Oliver and Simon take the Bentley for a test drive but get caught up in a demonstration and end up at the police station, during which time the Bentley, left on the road, is impounded. They manage to retrieve it but not to save Oliver's car which is inadvertently sold for scrap and ends up being trashed. —don @ minifie-1

    • Trivia
      Although Donald Sinden and his youngest son Marc Sinden worked together on the stage as actors four times (also in an un-aired ITV sitcom pilot 'Fiddlers Green') and Marc produced his father on stage in the hit play 'That Good Night', this was to be the only time that Sir Donald and his two actor sons Jeremy and Marc Sinden appeared together.
