Quote from the last 5 minutes or so ...
"I got in dads old jeep and just drove"

old jeep

OLD JEEP...

it was a series 3 109 LAND ROVER

thats one for points of view I think  :evil:
apart from that not bad

Devon-Rover:
before that monunental faux pas. I wasn't a Dr who fan but was slowly warming to it. Unfortunatly that line calling a landy a jeep has runied it!

the loon:
first think I thought was something to do with can advertise as land rovers a brand name ...but then whats jeep
 :roll:

strapping young lad:
you need to consider the care factor of those who wrote and those who obtained the vehicles for the program

the writer may know his jeep from his lr but the production mgr (i think thats the right one?) may not and a 4x4 is a 4x4 to him.

an oversight on his part and on others for not noticing the difference before going on air which upset those who know which is which.

not sure if you write in if the person reading the letter will take you seriously

just a warning in case nothing will be done about it

Bush Tucker Man:
I've got to agree with that afront to Solihulls dignity.

But!
Don't forget to Mr & Mrs Average (including BBC scriptwriters), JEEP is just a generic term.
For example;
Any vacuum cleaner is a 'Hoover';
A ball-point pen is a 'Biro'
A cola type soft drink is 'Coke'
etc......

All brand-names but carelessly used by practically everyone
