Stumbled across a programme on UKTV: “Bangers and Cash” I had watched the first two series and it seems they have made a third. It concerns Mathewson’s Classic Car Auctions in Thornton-Le-Dale, Pickering, near the NYMR station. The episode I watched saw the auction of a Post Office van that had appeared in Heartbeat. The owner had supplied all the classic cars used in the series he was based in Durham. He sold several cars that had appeared in various TV programmes, but the PO van was the only one from Heartbeat. He wanted to sell the ambulance complete with all the life saving gear that had appeared, but Mathewson didn’t think it was the sort of thing the customers would be interested in. The episode I watched started with a Black Five (?) pulling into a station, as normal it was difficult to make out what it was. It had a name plate, I think the number was 45438, the NYMR website doesn’t help.
