"The Interceptors" - Great 70s British Detective Series That Never Existed

I know next to nothing about the Jensen Interceptor that fictitiously inspired this ersatz UK actioner, starring BBC Top Gear's 3 game presenters. But I do know it was styled by Italians and "looked the business" as the Brits liked to say. That it drove like a couch is beside the point.

Brilliant!

Good Lord I love Brit comedy!



Dry humor. Irreverent. Unapologetic. Mildly (or grossly) slapstick. Hardly lowbrow. Clearly alcohol fueled. You can apply those descriptors to any of my favourite Brit shows: Monty Python. Fawlty Towers. The Young Ones. Blackadder. Now add Top Gear to that list, even though it's an automotive show rather than a comedy. Led by alpha male Jeremy Clarkson, who is flanked by his two sidekicks Richard Hammond, playing the part of the twee naif, and James May, playing the proper knob, the show is from beginning to end great entertainment.
