    The amount of money spent on so many other aspects of film production, yet they skimp so badly on something that's really quite obvious.

    Cilla last night on ITV3 really annoyed me - she was singing into a microphone that was at least 10 years newer than it should have been. The connector on it was an even newer design. They also showed a late 60's TV in a scene set in 1962. Equipment of the right vintage is easily available to hire so it looks like they just used whatever the film company had lying around.

    Lady In The Van, Film Stars Don't Die In Liverpool. Both seem to have just hired half a dozen cars which they move up and down the street...
    Van - over the course of years.
    Film Stars - both Liverpool and London featured the exact same cars.

    Back in the 1950s/60s I saw a British "B picture" at the cinema, A Jaguar was speeding, the driver lost control and the car overturned, except the vehicle they filmed overturning was clearly a Ford 10 van!

    Also there was an episode of "The Man from UNCLE" set in UK (or another European country) where every street had only one car parked on it, the same Vauxhall Velox E-series (which went out of production 15 yrs before that episode was made).

    Hey you guys! (or girls..).

    I am a guy and I'm pretty certain Adrian is. My user name is based on a street where I lived decades ago.

    Back to the thread subject, I know it's not a rental and it's expensive but I looked and really love this. If I were to live on a boat, that's the one for me.

    Wow, I want one now :)
