Taxi (31 December 1996, Lee Walker)

An unusual programme made by placing a hidden camera in the back of a black taxi cab which is driven by actor Lee Walker all over London.

He picks up a foray of passengers and the hidden camera captures their antics. Indeed, some of the passengers perform like mad, as if they knew they were being filmed...

It's a weird programme but is kind of a forerunner of some shows that were broadcast throughout the 2000s and now.

Only two pilot episodes were made. One was shown on Thursday 17 December 1996 at 7:30pm and the other (this edition) shown on Tuesday 31 December 1996 at the same time. It was not a success as it was not commissioned for a series.
