Couldn't watch it... Cohen was such an epic miserablist I always felt like wanting to get the razor blades out and then grabbing him by the neck and telling the depressing old bugger to cheer up...

I'm listening to Leonard now.
I don't find him miserable at all.
I'm miserable because he just died :(

I guess he was quite miserable about it too :lol:

Let's just hope he's happier now...

C1 seen in The Love Punch.

First there was a red one, and then when the plot took the characters to the south of France a yellow one.

Did anyone see Rowan Atkinson's Maigret on channel 3 Christmas day?

It's based in Paris with many Tractions, a 2CV and others. In fact the murderer worked in a Citroen dealership and they were specifically looking for the owner of a blue/cream Traction Avant!

Edited to add - these girls do have French credentials - French Canadians.Saw them a few years back, just before the younger one (Kate) died.
She was mother to Martha and Rufus Wainright, for anyone interested.

just a mention... anyone noticed the lovely Peugeot 404 (I think...) Taxi

seen briefly in most of the episodes of the current Channel 4 Series "First Dates Hotel", usually close to the end, as the unsuccessful Guests leave

in a pale blue colour that rather suits it.
