We're into the Quarter-finals, just tow wins away from the title.

In this episode there's talk of the TV & Film models we'd like to see made, reminiscences of Britain's first multiplex in Milton Keynes and 'Shagger' Morse who beat off Mr Bean (!)

The grandfather of all TV & Film slot cars, the 1967 James Bond Aston Martin, is still in the running, but can it;s rarity see off the modern detail of the challengers?

And of course there's four key head-to-heads:

Quarter-final 1 : John Wick Plymouth Barracuda.

Quarter-final 2 : The Blues Bros Bluesmobile vs Back To The Future DeLorean

Quarter-final 3 : Starsky & Hutch Ford Torino vs James Bond Aston Martin DB4 GT

Quarter-final 4 : Captain Scarlet SPV vs The Italian Job Mini Coopers

Remember, there are no easy games at this level.
