Sat with a beer last night and watched a bit of telly. Mr Bell popped up for a very brief cameo. Miami Vice, series two, an episode called Florence, Italy. Very flakey plot centred around the Miami Grand Prix. Grid consisted of anything they could get hold of, a few stock cars, grand am, Daytona protos, a Spice and a couple of Porsche 962s. Our Derek opens the door of the winning Porsche and congratulates the winner just as Crockett and Tubbs turn up to arrest his father for murder. Father does a doughnut in the race car and attempts an escape by driving out into the city only to be caught by the fake black Daytona. When cornered he runs head on into a brick wall and goes through the screen. The End. Told you it was flakey.
Only redeaming feature is a well driven Porsche 906 Carrera giving it beans around the city at night in the first five minutes. Such a pretty car. Apart from that, probably the worst episode of what was a pretty good show.
No mention of Bell in the titles but it sure was him. No doubt did much of the driving in the action shots.
