Amazing performance by Rowan Atkinson! It's a shame he's not had a chance to do many serious roles. He's done so well in his recent Maigret work too :)

The Bently drivers group took vintage Bentleys of Tim (Boy) Berkin time to the Lotus factory and test track in Norfolk for a promotion photoshoot. They were told to follow the new (at the time) Racing Saloon as they would not be able to keep up. After a short time, the old Blowers were lapping the New Flash Lotus saloon

In those days Chaps and Chapets used to race high-performance road cars to various country mansions for a Bottle of Vintage Champagne. My Grandfather was a Metropolitan police sergeant tasked to stop them. Happy to say he failed every time.

Had to get used to see a serious Rowan Atkinson. Was waiting for a gag in the beginning, but got to appreciate Rowan in a serious roll and the film. Fun fact: W.O Bentley was portrayed by Gavin Richards, capitano Bertorelli in ‘Allo, Allo’. Burn was portrayed by Crispin Bonham Carter, third cousin to Helen Bonham Carter.

People only perceive Atkinson as a clown because he played one for so long so well. If he had stuck to dramatic roles no matter what many of his less comedic roles would have gone over very differently. Now his face is associated with a clowns by majority of the people on this earth. That is his legacy and burden.
