The Old Banger

Susan (Pinkie Johnstone) and John Partridge (Terence Rigby) decide to dump their clapped out old Hillman rather than pay the scandalous ten quid scrapping fee only to discover that unlike their pigeons it has an unerring and uncanny homing ability as it's repeatedly spotted making it's way ever closer back to their house. 

This, the fantastically daft, seventh and final episode of 'Tales of Unease', a series based around the anthologies edited by John Burke,  was the sole writing credit of actor Richardson Morgan and was directed by Quentin Lawrence who had a bit of a Wyrd Britain pedigree having worked on the likes of 'Catweazle', 'The Avengers', 'Doomwatch', 'The Strange World of Planet X' and 'Danger Man'.

Coming across like the unintended consequence of a post pub, back alley fumble between 'Christine' and 'Herbie' it's not particularly played for laughs but it isn't entirely serious either.  Worth watching, once, just to see where the the car ends up, the cheeky little Minx.
