Filming at Hewden's Mitcham depot

Alan Denyer, Stephen Weston, both fitters, and David O’Neill, foreman at the depot, took part in scenes with Roberta Taylor (Inspector Gina Gold) and Grahame Fox (Dave Vance).

Depot manager, Steve Sparrow (no relation to our publisher) said, “It was great fun having all the characters filming at the depot and the guys really enjoyed playing extras. I’m fortunate to work with some fantastic people at Hewden and my biggest problem now is keeping the staff. I think one or two of them fancy themselves as the next PC Reg Hollis!”
