    Just because you saw it in the mid 90s doesn't mean that it wasn't made some time before. Maybe you missed the first screening and saw a repeat?

    You remember the year of the cars, but no more about it like who was in it or what it was called?



    The ability of some males to remember details about cars, or even to be able to tell the difference between most of them, never ceases to amaze me

    Was it definitely on the BBC? I looked on a sitcom website for you with pretty much every show broadcast in the 90's and there doesn't seem to be anything which matches your description.

    Davidb I've managed to solve your question!!

    I spent about 30mins trawling through past BBC Sitcoms and your programme you enquired about was called Safe and Sound (1996 BBC).



    It starred two Belfast Motor Mechanics and was directed by Tim Prager.
