Those opening titles were great to see, Stuart. I'm only a year or two too young to remember seeing Man at the Top, and I'd love to get a chance to see it, as I'm a big fan of ITV's early seventies adult-themed output.

I see Lampton drives a Jensen, but I couldn't tell if it was an Interceptor or an FF. Any experts out there?

Even better! The entire pilot of Man at the Top (Charity begins at home) has been posted on YouTube in 10 parts. Here's part 1 to start you off.

Well observed .I was trying to discern the badge right at the end, and at first thought it was one of two models-Aston Martin or Jenson.The interceptor was made from 1966-76.But I think it's an FF because it has the power bulge on the bonnet.

... I have one of those too, but I think of mine as more of a 'lack of power bulge'.

I'll take it that the FF/Interceptor discussion is of little importance!
May your bulges grow ever bigger gentlemen!

Cheers scholes.

I was more embarrassed about being caught discussing the size of my bulge with m'Lord!

I've seen both 'Life At The Top' and 'Man At The Top' adverised on ebay, but they don't seem to be advertised at the moment.
Worth keeping a look out as they look like good copies.
