The Guardian said:
Smith had plenty of help: his specially recruited gang included a leading computer hacker, a top burglar, an extortionist, and was led by a former associate of the Kray twins. But what made the Lucky Harry job truly remarkable was that each and every step of the operation was caught on camera for a new Channel 4 show, The Heist .

The three-part project, to be broadcast next month, is the brainchild of documentary maker David Glover and film-maker Rudolph Herzog, son of the renowned German director, Werner.

The first show features the gang attempting to steal a painting - Andrew Gifford's The View from the Bandstand - from the Business Design Centre in Islington, north London, a building said to be impregnable.

The second show centres on an attempt to hijack a prototype TVR from the Earl's Court Motor Show. The third show features the kidnap of a racehorse.

I saw that as well - plus a Tuscan S on some advert for a competition, T350t's in Emmerdale AND Coronation St. - the TVR publicity machine has gone into overdrive!!

It has made me think as well - TVR is now coming to be seen as an aspirational marque - this can only be good for the company, (and our residuals!) and I hope will move TVR away from the pub-argument mentality about reliability, kit-car etc. etc.

Long may it continue!
