With the right script it could work , decent actors to start with

Hmmm, It worked originally because the people involved had lived through WWII and also it was closer to WWII so in general grand parents could explain to kids. While I am a big fan of Dads Army, I don't think it will work as expected the event (WWII) that caused it is no longer a common memory...(also can't 'they' think up anything else..)

Sounds like it could work as a sequel to "Iron Sky"

Nope. All the good ideas were used up twenty years ago. Everything since then is either a remake, a re-launch, or a mash-up.

I'm willing to bet that they tried to get The Big Yin for Frasier, and he turned it down -- but not because of ill health.
I'll wait until there are clips on youtube, but I'm not holding out high hopes (I mean, they've cast that Jones woman -- it has to be cr@p).

Can anyone tell me what you're supposed to do? Some bloke has driven into the back of my wife's car (which was parked with her in it). They've exchanged names and addresses (presumably for insurance purposes and not extra-marital liaisons). Minimal damage but probably will need garage attention.
Now what's supposed to happen?

I would suggest you report it to the police, and get an incident number. You then contact your insurance company and give them all the details including the police incident number. Or, you could contact your insurance company's help line and ask them.

Don't report to police unless there has been a crime act.

It's always worth it in case the other party tries to blame you, as happened to me some years ago.

Which is why I have a front facing camera, when someone drove into the back of me three weeks ago it was obvious who was to blame - accident clickety[^] - it doesn't look like much but it hurt and caused me to black out for a few seconds.

Driving into the back of a stationary vehicle is almost always a traffic offense, most likely driving without due care and attention.
You also have to report a traffic collision to the police if anyone is injured at all (or any party fails to stop).
Reports must be made within 24 hours.

I was rear-ended a few months back on the freeway. When I called my insurance company, they recommended filing a police report. I kind of assumed it might have a perjury-like mechanism for those who are inclined to make bogus insurance claims.
Fortunately the other driver didn't fight me on it, and his insurance took great care of me.

It depends entirely which country your are in. In Canada (Ontario anyway) you are required to inform if anyone is hurt at all or if the value of the damage exceeds {some fairly low number}.
I'd always do so (and within 24 hours) anyway. If they have no interest, they'll either politely let you know or, worst case, say "What do you expect me to do about it!"
Please do make sure she doesn't have a recoil (whiplash) injury. It doesn't take much and they often don't kick in for a day or two.

This! I knew a guy who was hit from behind. He felt fine, walked away from it, came to work the next day, etc.
2 days later is back was terrible, he couldn't stand up, went to the doc several times and missed several weeks of work over it.

He's responsible, just fill out the form together with him, and bring it to your insurance.

Report it to your insurance company. He drove into the back of your wifes car so it's technically his fault and his insurance would have to pick up the bill

Well when it happened to me I remained where I was until the ambulance came to take me to hospital. The car waited for a man in a transporter to take it away for scrap.
However, just phone up your insurance and tell them what has happened. They will tell you what their process is. You claim from your insurer, they recover the costs from the other driver.
Sounds like there should be no liability on the part of your wife so no increase in premiums / loss of no claims and so on.

The first thing you have to do is try very hard to look like you believe the woman driver when she says it wasn't her fault.

It takes more than breasts to warp my thinking! Unless intoxicated, of course.

Why? Are intoxicated breasts more wobbly?

Don't know exactly. Don't get me wrong, breasts are a fine thing the whole time. They just have an almost mystical allure after of a skinful of Belgian finest.
Maybe I become more northern when I drink, or something.

Well done BTW to all those involved who managed to move the conversation from car crashes to the combined effects of booze and breasts...
