It covers classic programmes of the past, such as "The Avengers" and "Starsky and Hutch", recent series such as "Mr. Bean" and "Only Fools and Horses", and current shows such as "Life on Mars" and "The Apprentice", with a few surprises along the way. Packed with facts, anecdotes and photographs of the cars and their star drivers from the nation's favourite cop shows, dramas, sit-coms, sci-fi classics and documentaries, "TV Cars" is a great read for all car and TV buffs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unexpectedly good..., 18 Nov 2008
By SUPER GT JUNKIE (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
I wasn't expecting much - generally I'm not a fan of all those cheap fathers' day/dad's birthday 'My dad had one of these'-type books (they're too obviously an easy earner for their authors/publishers and the text sometimes seems as if it's been written in a pub somewhere during a lunch break...)
However, maybe because TV cars are just more inherently interesting/nostalgic, this one wasn't bad - I enjoyed it - the text is more informative (well, a bit!) and less laddish/childish than it is in some of those other books. If you can remember back to the 70s and 80s (and you watched a lot of TV!), you'll likely find it OK. If you're younger than that, then you won't, because you won't get the 'nostalgia effect' and it'll just seem like a load of old cars, some good, some bad, some ugly...
