Deltic got nearly all so he can have the floor.
The only ones he didn't are-
Steam Heat- Rising Damp
Ean van de acht- The original Dutch show which became The Generation Game.
The oddest one is On the Rocks which had the Porridge scripts with only a few minor geographical/context changes but with a Puerto Rican playing Fletch and a massive black fella with 70's afro playing Godber. Its so bad its funny!

Apologies for the delay chaps, had a heck of a lot of business to attend to today, and I couldn't set the question I wanted to from my phone.

Ahhhh you fell into my trap Mr Cooper *manic laughter*.
To be serious, I would say you are close, but you don't quite get the cigar.

I'll try "S Type" (1960s) then, although from that size of picture it's difficult to tell.

This is the answer I was looking for. Although outwardly similar to the MKII Jaguar. The Daimler V8 Saloon, later known as the V8 250, had the Edward Turner designed 2.5l Small Block V8, as fitted to the SP250 Dart.
In some circles it is considered to be far better than it's more famous Step-Sister.
I have many fond memories of long driving holidays in one that my Dad owned (in the early 2000's, I'm not old enough to remember them brand new
) As for the picture, because the picture was of a fairly small size anyway, and I only cropped a small part of it, that may be why it won't enlarge.
You will find the original image attached.

Was there a difference in the rear door windows? That's all we could see.
Loved that car when I was a little'un. I always got them confused with the Jag.
Who was the Mercedes that drove a Volkswagen ?

I got it because you said Jag and deltics reply gave it away.

My point was that the two cars shared the same bodywork apart from a few details and even if there were a difference in the rear door window, door handle or trim it would not be visible in such a small picture. Having said that I'm quite happy that you, ComUtoR, have set the next question.

I wish to apologise if my question was seen as a bit of a dirty trick. It was a failure on my part that the image was so small, I only realised that it wouldn't enlarge when it was too late and ComUtoR had already informed me of the fact.
The difference that would be visible from the original cropped image is not with the exterior but the interior. On photos of MKIIs taken from a similar angle, it can be noted that they were fitted with 2 reading lights on either side of the rear cabin. These are absent from my image as the Daimler was never so fitted, only having a central courtesy light.
If no-one had noticed that I was relying on it being a process of elimination type question, where a poster would give the obvious answer, and when informed they didn't have the one I was looking for, the same poster (or another as happened in this case) could come back with another suggestion. It is worthy of note that there are a few cars that look quite similar to the cropped image, 3 of which have been submitted as answers.
Once again I'm sorry if it was seen as a trick question.

Was a good trick though
Its just a game, for fun, and a little mischief along the way.

Thanks for that, I've learned something today, I didn't know about the courtesy lights. It's always a good idea to use Google image search tools to find a larger and higher quality photo when setting this type of question, I'd recommend >2MP (1600 x 1200) then you've still got a decent amount of detail after cropping.

In Pokémon, what two words did the English dub have as a temporary placeholder for Misty to say after Ash was "killed" until the rest of the dub was completed ?
