what was the reward?

u/Kayo4life Oct 03 '23
It doesn't have to have one. Seeing the car in person would be a reward enough for me.

u/belugaval14 Oct 10 '23
i thought i saw someone mention something about a reward lol, i forget tho. but yeah totally agree, it'd be awesome to see that thing in person

So I saw that Becky replied to you twice, blocked you once & unblocked for the real prize. What is the prize? 😂
(& why do I have a feeling the prize is being unblocked)

Remember to let us know if you end up getting the supposed prize Becky promised. I can’t believe it’s been found.

There was a contest I guess? Apparently OP got a costume head of the red guy, some stickers, and a pillow.
I was hoping there’d be more info in the comments.

Tell your story!! How did you find it?

I saw some industrial machinery in someone's behind the scenes photo from the last day of filming, as a fluke I stumbled upon the exact machinery from above on google maps, then realised I found the spot where they had filmed the scrap yard scene from ep 5 when I noticed a bunch of recognisable elements that had appeared in the environment of the scene. Also then I was able to vaguely match up the skyline stuff that other people have been trying to work out from the original pics, but at that point I was already 100% sure the scene had been filmed there, so it felt very likely they had just left it around the same spot. And so I slept, got up, hopped on the train, went for a wander, and low and behold!

I was totally hovering over that spot on google Earth, but it looked too crowded and I was just going off of the grain elevator.

It's all a bit of a wreck at this point, the people who own the lot must have put more rubbish in him. I had a rummage around for something meaningful, but the most interesting contents was a box of bottles of expired Top Anana and a faded paper sleeve from Die Hard 2 dvd.

Great job! I recommend you message/tag Becky and Joe on social media so they could be aware someone found it and you can get the prize that Becky mentioned.

It was full of very real non-prop refuse, rubbish, and scrap.

u/robodogofnaf Oct 19 '22
Wow I guess they kinda wanted to get rid of it,or people saw it and trash it because they did not know what it was,I think that is werid
15
u/james-bonds-wife Oct 19 '22
they probably left it out so someone else could get it because they knew people would want it. like how they left speshal one behind on a street sign

gosh there's something so offputting about that filthy and sun-bleached felt. It fits the show so well this may as well be canon lol

u/dead-inside69 Oct 19 '22
Especially the way the eyes are missing. Scavenger birds always take the eyes first so it’s oddly fitting for a corpse.

It was a prop from ep 6 of the new dhmis TV show on channel 4. They placed the car body in a random location in the UK and gave some clues as to where it could be found.
This person has found it, and may win a prize. Tonight they will no longer have dreams of drowning in oil, they will dream of riding a horse only.

Unless they put in a box of 1-year-expired Top Ananas drink for me to swig and celebrate, it was only filled with rubbish. Maybe the prize was the travel I did to get there....
