Just watched this for the first time in 2024. Brilliant play, especially good performance from Richard Beckinsale who I almost didn’t recognise to begin with as he was very different from his usual roles. Thanks for the upload. 👍
@@stevenwilson1816 re Richard Beckinsale, the same here. Only knew him as Godbar. Will look out for different roles he has played. Impresssed with him in this, no end.
Interesting play. I'm here because of Anton Phillips who played Dr Bob Mathias in Space:1999. FYI Yes, that is Alison Holloway who was a journalist/presenter on HTV West. Once the wife of Jim Davidson. Went to the States to find fame and fortune.
I knew at once that car was a Triumph Vitesse 6 convertible. But was too early for that radiator grille though, it was from the Vitesse 6 2-Litre Mark II, which only came out in 1970. That one in the film had a 1968 reg mark, which was from a Mark 1 Vitesse 2-litre, KAM 548F.
"ITV Playhouse" Last Summer (TV Episode 1977) 7.7 A school leaver is teamed up with experienced professional car thief (Beckinsale). The novice ends up going it alone hence car park ending.
Back when ITV was worth watching.

He was beginning to take more serious type of roles in his final years...what might have been (in addition to the comedy)😢🎩

That was a joyful throwback & a reminder of how much of a Pratt I was.😂
The immortal Richard Beckinsale.
indeed, he is an iconic face of the '70s, a time gone by, immortalised as a youthful British man
Shows the more dramatic roles RB was trying out in the final years of his short life👍🎩

Ok.
Love these golden oldies and triumph herald !!
No doubt!
That was a Triumph Vitesse actually.
Shame how the Vitesse got treated, but that was back in 1976
Richard was such a natural. He must have passed away shortly after filming this. Nice performances all-round.
Two years later he died.
❤😊Hello Richard Beckinsale ❤😊
Micheal Elphick. "MIckey Pierce" Richard Beckinsale. 1976
Been waiting to see this...if only footage existed of his role in "Bloody Kids" (his role was recast and reshot with Derrick O'Connor)🎩
Aaaah Godber - he was lovely ❤
A young Micky Peirce if I'm not mistaken!
Absolutely 💯 Barry Mickey Pearce is right was in scum as well if l am right film was mad 😊
Cars were easy to nick in those days. I thought it was funny that Rolls Royce’s used the same type of keys s a mini.
Everything was easy to nick and police were ill equipped. We should all have perpetrated wealth redistribution!
This is excellent. Thank you for sharing.
My job was fixing cars. I got no time for watching car thives. In fact I hate car thieves.
31:13 As scruffy as he was before, he now goes in to sign on in a smart suit, nice, clean shirt and shoes and nobody suspects anything?!

The casting director. That’s the one who made this film.
Happy days..easy cars to start . .no CCTV.
Brilliant
Mickey Pearce👍😄

Does that mean that his friend, left behind, was at risk of getting arrested for not having any means to leave the premises quickly?
no idea.....
Anyone know what year/month this was filmed?
There was a 1976 tax disc on his car
