1, in 1986 our 4 month old Mk2 luton was mobbed on the Highway by print workers. We were working for a company in Wapping Wall at the time, and they thought we were carrying print. So been there, done that!
2, the empty warehouse it was filmed at in Isleworth used to be occupied by Jigsaw, and we delivered hanging garments there many many times throughout the 90s. It was very odd backing up to the shutters again! Same lutons, different job.....
It was a night shoot. Got there at 2pm, and waited for dark. Had lunch (meatballs and rice, yum!). Then prepped the lutons and Bev, Connie the conservatory (the Dormobile bus) was on support. The programme '35 mm' were doing a 'making of' report and Buzz the Lurcher ended up being featured!!
Waiting for dark out of shot
Buzz has his 15 mins of fame!
