After supplying some vans for the teaser, here is 'Funk to Funky', It's a 70s comedy cop show, Think UK Starsky and Hutch with the humour set somewhere between 'Airplane' original Batman and Naked Gun, so pretty silly really! There will be various tasty retros, with the 'star car' being a Capri. The facelift granny was not 100% right but is bloody lovely!!! Me Mk2 minibus sneaking into shot wasn't intentional!! So would you watch it? funk2funky.co.ukWatch the teaser vids here!

I'd watch it, looks good fun! Just one little point, and I don't really think you can do anything about it, and that's that the 'tagging' style of graffiti wasn't around until the early '80s. Problem is, it's *everywhere* now, so you'd be hard pushed to find anywhere that isn't covered in it.

Why did you hire a tramp to play the part of Pete Perry?

This is just the teaser so stuff like locations will be 100% when broadcast! I was suprised at the take they used for the granny take as there was a more 'spirited' version! The aim is for plenty of retro action!

spoke to the writer, and they checked on the graffiti, it's been in London (copied from the US) since 72.... Oh and the Tramp/Pete Perry thing has been corrected, thanks for the heads up!

Personally, I've learned to not let small(ish) inaccuracies ruin things I watch, but the 'been in London since 1972' doesn't quite get the writer off the hook. The first car was built in 1769, but quite a few people would notice if Pip drove a Ford Focus in Great Expectations! :-)

I could tell you when there was a sky dish in shot on Ashes to Ashes. I was there when the fake concrete cover fell off it!

I approve of the Mk2 Capri But in a word, no. As a premise it really appeals, but the website/clip quality all looks a bit too A level media studies. They just let it down for me I'm afraid, shame. Where is the badly dubbed tyre squealing, or a bit of hilarious dialog etc? Very lovely cars though.

Just to reiterate, this is just the teaser! The whole thing was coloured for retro effect, same with the split screen for the 70s feel. Has nobody seen the original Starsky and Hutch? Have to agree not using the V6 sound was a missed operunity

sweet capri but if it's supposed to be a comedy the teaser clips didn't even raise a smile I'm afraid
