Several Careful Owners was transmitted between 1996 and 2001 on BBC 2, and BBC Choice. There were several series of the motoring programme, which traced the previous owners of different individual iconic cars, to learn the history of particular vehicles.
Directors included Dennis Jarvis, Justine Linnane and Ed Taylor, with Richard Pearson being the series producer. The cars involved included a Rolls Royce, and Hillman Pullman, a Rover 3.5 Coupe, an Austin Healey Frogeye, a Gordon Keeble, and a Dodge Ambulance – all with interesting stories to tell.
Thanks to Ian Collins for making the titles grab available.
The following comments were left on the Pebble Mill Facebook page:
Robin Sunderland (cameraman): “Yes, remember doing a number of these. Very enjoyable. Remember one about a ford capri, which started it’s life as a police traffic car! Always loved the irony of it having ‘careful owners’ !!”
Andrew Chorlton (soundman): “I recorded most if not all of them. Robin Sunderland on camera too.”
Hi- it’s interesting to read robin sunderland’s comments re the Capri, which brought back memories as I actually appeared on the programme!!
Do you know where I could view it again please as it doesn’t appear to be on YouTube or anywhere else for that matter, and it would be so nostalgic to see it again?
Kind regards

Hi David
I expect that the only place you could see a copy is through the BBC Archives. As a contributor of the programme you would probably be able to ask for a copy for yourself, but it does cost quite a lot of money – £80. Here is the link where you can find out more: http://www.bbc.co.uk/faqs/contributor_access_process.
Best wishes
