A funny thing happened at work last night.....

[FredTransit]

Was filming a reconstruction for Crimewatch, a reconstruction of the events before a murder in 1971. So, there we were in a side road in the east end, nearly midnight. The scene is a minicab pulling up and dropping off the fare, the murder victim. There was sirens, and a police car came screaming after some little M reg thing (might have been a focus, was a Ford).

 

Basically they pulled the car, right in the middle of the scene, and er sort of stopped filming. The driver was going 70 in a 35 road, and hadn't even seen the police car! Basically they called up a van, took the car away (must have been other stuff in the driver's background).

 

At least they apologised, we were panicking they were going to dump the M reg!!

 

 

 

Managed to get a shot before they turned up!

 

 

and picking up the 'fares'

 

 

No the taxi driver is not a suspect.....
