Brian (Episode 6103)

Brian was a regular customer of Street Cars who got talking to driver Claire Peacock in a taxi in August 2005.

Brian complimented the smell of Claire's taxi, saying that he could close his eyes and imagine that he was in Delamere Forest. When Brian also complimented the selection of magazines on the back seats, Claire said that it was the extra touches in life that made something special.

Claire asked Brian what he was doing at the Red Rec. He told her of his work at the communal gardens where he was helping to give it a makeover after it was attacked by vandals. When Brian spoke of his desire to restore it to an area where children could play, Claire began to cry, telling Brian that she thought what he was doing was lovely.

Although Brian wanted to improve the gardens, he had quit due to the other people he was working with being unable to organise anything. Inspired by Brian, Claire decided to begin volunteering with the gardens.
