Not wrong Keith . On the set , there were people like Bob Hoskins ( who just died ) Warren Mitchell ( Alf Garnett ) and John Mellion ( always looked red faced and pissed ) walking around . The nicest was Maurie Fields , the old vaudeville comedian . They waited ages for the correct light and just as they started shooting a scene , the truck I was driving ran out of petrol .. the director went nuts and he could have shot me BTW they built a complete POW camp with guard towers , but most of the buildings were just empty shells . In the end , the Jeep didn't appear in any scenes at all . It was quite an experience seeing the other side of the industry .
