Just watched this for the first time, and it's definitely a different animal from the TV series.
Quite slow moving, with just a couple of exciting interludes, and possibly one of worst miscastings ever committed to film, Barry Foster as McQueen. Was the budget that limited they couldn't afford an American to play the part?
Nice to see 70's London streets, and the usual 70's furnishings and fashions.
It's a passable 97minutes or so, but don't expect non stop excitement.
A big shout out for the Network blu ray which is how I watched it, picture quality is absolutely superb, and the sound is as clear as a bell.
Looking forward to watching the sequel tonight, which by all accounts is a little more in the traditional vein of the TV series.
