Show generally

Character mistake: When Pat goes to Roy Evans' car showroom to complain about the dodgy car he sold to her son David, she asks Roy if he has any children. Roy replies that he has two sons which was true, but at this time Roy didn't know he had a second son, Nathan, conceived years before when Roy had an affair with his secretary Doreen. He only found out years later when Nathan turned up to tell Roy that Doreen was terminally ill. When Roy was speaking to Pat he only knew about his first son and business partner Barry.

Hit and Run - S2-E5

Question: Towards the end of this episode the squad car has to double park so Regan can use a phone box, as Regan gets out of the car a van has to drive round the squad car and the driver sounds the horn, Regan gesticulates and shouts "up yours" at the van driver. I wonder if this was scripted or was a random moment and John Thaw was ad-libbing?
