Dreamytime Van

Happy 38th anniversary today to “Mr Jolly Lives Next Door”! It first aired on Channel 4 on the 5th of March 1988! Cheers to all involved in making this cult classic. I raise a pint of gin to you! #MrJollyLivesNextDoor #AdeEdmondson #RikMayall #RowlandRivron #PeterRichardson

One of the Dreamytime vans rear mud guards has been right taken out! Woke up this morning to find it lying ripped off by the rear wheel. I suspect Reg but I’ll be contacting my contacts at the Metropolitan Police to confirm the forensic analysis of the fingerprints involved.

Where’s the van? Here it is trying to be Jolly! A very merry happy best Yuletide wishes to all the Van fans out. Large gins to one and all. Cheers! #MrJollyLivesNextDoor #AdeEdmondson #RikMayall #RowlandRivron #PeterRichardson

Some Dreamytime Van shenanigans. Re-inacting one of the many iconic scenes in Mr Jolly Lives Next Door using the van. #MrJollyLivesNextDoor #AdeEdmondson #RikMayall #RowlandRivron #PeterRichardson

August 15th. The 10 year anniversary of owning the van! Thanks to everyone for all the support & help over the years. You know who you are! Couldn't have done it without you. Heres to 10 more! Cheers! #mrjollylivesnextdoor #rikmayall #adeedmondson #peterrichardson #rowlandrivron

@StopForumSpam @AdrianEdmondson @rowlandrivron @LordRichardson @DreamytimeE @PodCatflappo @ChrisJ_Duff Got a wallet have you? We'll call it twenty. Thank you very much! What a nice man.

@DreamytimeV @AdrianEdmondson @rowlandrivron @LordRichardson @DreamytimeE @PodCatflappo @ChrisJ_Duff how much for a spin around Trafalgar square in first gear?

11 years ago we lost this Dreamytime Escort. Always missed. Now get some gin and raise a few glasses… large ones. Cheers! #RikMayall

Where’s the van? Well now… it’s funny you should say that… It’s a lovely day so time to take it right out (not Dorking) Here’s some footage of the Dreamytime Van before all the speed tickets, angry pedestrians / other road users and reversed skip parking. Cheers!

@yungee__ @AdrianEdmondson @PodCatflappo @DreamytimeE @rowlandrivron @LordRichardson As Sir Larry said in the film… “Well now, it’s funny you should say that..” Great minds think alike! Yes! That plan is a scorcher! It’s always been my intention to take the van right out & visit the films locations. Keep an eye out for updates in next few months 🤞🏻 Cheers! 🍻

@DreamytimeV @AdrianEdmondson @PodCatflappo @DreamytimeE @rowlandrivron @LordRichardson If you ever want to get some 'in situ' pics ... 👍❤️🍻 reelstreets.com/films/mr-jolly…

“The tyres look a bit flat…” “Wait just one moment!” After too many weeks sitting on the driveway, it’s time to pop to the garage and give the tyres a bit of air before screeching round town annoying everyone. Cheers!

@ellwoodblues @spencer238 @AdrianEdmondson @PodCatflappo @rowlandrivron @LordRichardson @harriet_thorpe @DreamytimeE Were you parked outside in BDR 529 per chance?🤔😉

@DreamytimeV @spencer238 @AdrianEdmondson @PodCatflappo @rowlandrivron @LordRichardson @harriet_thorpe @DreamytimeE i pulled up today outside the rick mayall comedy emporium in droitwich. who knew. 👏

A very tidy, messy, noisy & stupid birthday today to “Mr Jolly Lives Next Door”! 37 years to the day since it first aired on Channel 4 on the 5th of March 1988. Thank you so much to all those involved in making this cult classic. I raise a pint of gin to you all. Cheers!

@DreamytimeE @AdrianEdmondson @PodCatflappo @ChrisJ_Duff @LordRichardson @rowlandrivron Hoping it will make this bloody machine go faster!

So it's been 6 weeks since the van's been started & driven as I've been so busy. The mighty 545cc roared into life on the 4th key turn! Result! Today was a scorcher so time to annoy other road users. Van needed some barmy fluid as it's thirsty work this highway driving! Cheers!

Blimey it’s the end of January already? In last few months this page has lost 30 followers. Whether by leaving X or disinterest due to lack of updates? I work 60 hours a week in the NHS so time flies! Will try to add more stuff! So for those still here, thanks for your patience!

A very merry happy Jolly New Years to one and all! See you in 2025 for some Mr Jolly / Dreamytime Van shenanigans! All the best and cheers!

You’re pissed aren’t you Saint Nicholas? Wishing a Jolly holiday to all the Van fans. Gin and tonics for one and all.. large ones! Cheers!

@BMovieBible m.facebook.com/groups/1243966…? Here’s some behind the scenes angles, again taken from Facebook.

@BMovieBible m.facebook.com/groups/1243966…? Mad Max 2 “The Road Warrior” motorbike stunt flip accident they kept in the film. Stuntman was injured but ok. Sorry for Mad Max page Facebook link. Can’t find short gif anywhere.

I'm looking for stunts in which the stuntman/woman looks like they could have been (but weren't) killed. Irresponsible successes, spectacular failures, close calls - just not fatal. We can take Jackie Chan as read! (And does anyone know which HK movie this is from?)
