The guy tries to surprise his family by asking for a photo of the car, then plans to pop out of a fake car seat. But the plan backfires when he gets stuck. The car has a toy car glued to the hood. The request was something like “the guys don’t believe I glued a toy car on the hood, can you send a pic of it” or something.
The show has mystery elements, and the episode starts with the premise that the guy is missing. I forget how popular of a show it is.
There’s a comment with a link to the episode summary on wikipedia. It’s Sherlock.
Thankyou! For some reason, I can only see my comment and yours. I thought it was Sherlock, but I couldn’t find any of the details mentioned in episode listings. IIRC it was a “side mystery”, so maybe that’s why.
Yep it’s the Six Thatchers episode
