Jensens on TV

[Martin K]

Blushing here! Thanks for all the kind comments.
Yes it was my car - see link here - https://joc.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=260343#p260343
My (replacement gearbox and transfer are being serviced and should be done in two or three weeks. Despite blending the Interceptor and FF in the voice overs I think they were kind enough to the car seeing as it was not driving at its best. The show generally is a bit of light nonsense. I thought both the car and Kerry looked well.

Hi Martin,
Really enjoyed the programme and the scenery was beautiful. So glad it came off and despite the gearbox problems your car looked fantastic.

Just seen "Q Planes" on TV. A pre-war precursor to James Bond starring Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson and, not an Aston-Martin but a Jensen

Hi Frankoid
Just caught the last half hour of Q Planes then spent 10 minutes trying to get a clear picture to identify the whit car as a Jensen and post it on here. but you beat me to it.
Great stuff.
Regards
Richard

Not on TV but spotted in the cinema today on a trailer for 'See How They Run'

Hi All
Just watching "Talking Pictures" on the box and caught another Jensen.
The film was a crime thriller called "The Marked One" from 1963 and at the beginning a couple of crooks are driving an early Jensen Interceptor registration RLT 790.
It seems 60's crooks had some taste.
Take care all.
Regards
Richard

I was watching Peripheral on Amazon Prime (Excellent by the way) and there was a quick glimpse of a Jensen intercpetor on the drive of a Manor house in London. This was meant to be 70 years in the future so it looked really good for over 100 years old

For anyone who hasn’t seen the early Interceptor in The Marked One 1963.
The full film is now on YouTube!

Enjoy.

RLT 790 is the same car as in The Fast Lady. See the report of Leslie Phillip's death this week.

Hi All
Briefly spotted Jensen SP MLU 86L in last Thursday’s “Find It, Fix It, Drive It” staring Henry Cole and Sam Lovegrove completing the the Prescott Hill Climb event. About 50 minutes in. Shown on Quest.

Just seen S-V8 W675COM on Shed and Buried, Series 4 Episode 12. The best view is during the intro although you will need to run in slow motion. Also a couple more shots early in the main part. In the collection of Terry Pickering in Herefordshire.
It is a shame Fuzz Townshend wasn't in this episode as he would probably have mentioned it.

I don't know how to get a screenshot onto here but I'm sure someone out there can oblige.
Cheers

I just spotted 541 flash past in the BFI film "the Christmas tree" on TPTV about 15 minutes in....

Was watching an old episode of Hill Street Blues, been layed up for three days, good time of year to be ill, and as the camara panned on a street scene following the characters car, behind following was a Mustard Jensen Healey.. then the adverts started

Maybe not on TV - although Amazon Prime calls its series "TV". Whatever, on The Peripheral, 2nd episode, there is a surprising shot of a Mk1 FF.
Remarkable because this is a shot in the future, around 2075, in London. Almost no cars on the street except for the TX4 taxis (older type, successor to the FX4 but electric because no engine sounds), 60s Rolls Royce Phantoms, a current day Phantom plus what we see in this shot, an FF and a 90s or 00s Bentley. Was visible just in a flash.
