Hazell TV show featuring a Stag

[CJG]

Yes watched it myself, Very seventies and a little wooden with regards to the acting and some of the characters i'd forgotten all about choc minty and was good to see the stag in use, enjoyed it all the same

Well I watched this last night and thought it was ok. I didn't watch it the first time round as back in 1978 I would have been out with the lads most nights. There were quite few shots of him driving the Stag but I had to chuckle a bit when he parked it up outside some offices and as there was a traffic warden hovering about he lifted the bonnet and pretended it had broken down- As if that would happen!!

I thought the modern equivalent today is to park up with the hazard lights flashing and a warning triangle a few feet behind the car!

Yes that's the modern way. If you put your hazards on you are invisible.

I was just bemused by the very idea that Stags break down. This is how rumours get started!!

Just got round to watching last week's episode. It was quite difficult to watch. A disgruntled client trashed his Stag, first of all with a heavy road menders fork which he used to smash all the glass and lenses and shredded the soft top and rear window. Then he started with a pick axe and turned every panel into a colander, punctured with dozens of holes. What a waste! I wonder if the car was ever repaired or simply scrapped.

Hi Richard.
It was repaired and repainted red, at present it is not taxed or mot'd i think.

They actually used two different Stags because the one in the second series, that they trashed, wasn't the same reg as series 1. They were HDU 416N and HBY 67N
