I think Rabbett Rover may have asked me about this when we conversing on the website aronline a while back in relation to a pre-production Rover 75 that had appeared a Car of the Month, and I had not got back to him. Rabbett Rover - my user name started as "David" and I seen to recall you were listed as Lewis.

I certainly do remember this episode featuring the Rover and Jaguar - the character Jerry Standing had plied the driver with plenty of alcohol in a bar to the point where he was over the limit. He then allowed him to drive off in his Jaguar XJ8 before phoning the uniformed officers. This was a 'legitimate' way of getting finger prints and DNA from him once he had been arrested.

I believe the episode might have been "Good Work Rewarded" which was episode 5 in Series 1, first broadcast in April 2004. It was based around the murder of a young boy on a golf course.

If I am right based on my powers of useless information retrieval, please don't call me Brian Lane!

THe writer of New Tricks ,is an Albion fan and names all the charecters after Albion players .

I reckon that makes you Brian Lane then Lloyd !
