Any one watch the programme last night and spot the 'howler' It was set in 1937 Warsaw and David Tennant, supposedly a French Embassy Officer, was driving around in a Traction Avant. Only the car was a post 1952, Big Boot Legere...... Maybe they got confused when making it and the old Doctor Who had transported the car back |

I once saw an American tv movie set in Paris during the war and spotted a type 'H' van (released 1948) and best of all a 2CV Charleston! (1980) in the background. Can't remember the name of the film. It's a common mistake in films to use post war Tractions in wartime settings although to be fair only we Citroen enthusiasts would probably spot the difference. | ||

Then, when he was walking up to film the tank manoeuvres, it was suddenly the right way round. My dears; too, too screamingly funny. |

My personal favourite was the film 'French Kiss' when Kevin Kline screeched to a halt in his stolen Xm and leapt out. The car started to roll backwards so Meg Ryan leaned in and pulled on the handbrake. The Xm has a foot operated parking brake! Pete. |
