I thought they may have been, are they posted in an area of the forum I haven't got access to?
Good viewing for Christmas this episode and I got my father-in-law excited about wanting to borrow the DVD box set ;-)

Always thought Cooney was a bit hard done by don't you? Regan encourages him to 'make a name for yourself' but minutes later has a go at him for his driving.

Anyone think that what they paid Conney for driving was a bit large? Was it 5 grand? That's about 40 grand today! Same for what that scots git was going to pay to have Jack topped in another episode that escapes me. Seems to me people would do it for about 500 these days! I watched this last night with my father-in-law enjoying a few Scotches ;-) It was 10 grand and I thought the same, a lot of wedge! According to the Historic Inflation calculator, 5 grand in 1974 is the equivlant of £59,459 today!!
And 10,000 in '74 is nowadays, £118,975!!!!!

Regan didn't like it when he was in the squad office, especially when Haskins complimented him. In addition, didn't seem to like him polishing the car after the crash at the opening credits. He wasn't keen on Robert the vegetarian driver either but Fred & Bill seemed to get along with him. So if you were a driver, it seems you had a 50/50 chance of getting along.

I've just heard from a snout that the Crown Plaza Hotel in West Drayton has closed down, is now behind hoardings and looks to be up for redevelopment. This is the location in Stoppo Driver where Cooney drives the BMW getaway car and almost mows down the hotel porter: https://www.instagram.com/p/CfZSZT-qGF2 Here is the scene from March this year on Google StreetviewSam.

It's a shame that that building looks set to be zeroed but I am sure the bean-counters have decided that something far bigger and far more profitable can be built on that site...
I am sure something gauche and anodyne will replace it in a very short space of time!!!
