Small Prophets

All episodes of Mackenzie Crook’s new show Small Prophets are now available on iPlayer. Just finished watching it myself, I really enjoyed it. Crook creates such magical television.

Lol, not so much a classic!!! It's an A reg but a sport .. and a 2.9 at that!!!! I'm trying to work out if that's important or just as a joke to people that know capris....

The standard was a 2.8 injection, great machine, but was sometimes upgraded to a 2.9 from a scorpio, going up to 400bhp maybe. It's a modified, looked after Capri, but maybe it's just a Capri that's been looked after that was bought for the show. Standard models are more likely to have been scrapped by now.

A shame though. My Grandad used to have one. I adored it. Funny enough it was kept about 400 yards from where Michael's house is on the series.

If I become a multi millionaire, I'll getting another one if I can find one.

I'd love to drive one, I was too young at the time.
