Early on the public simply would just ignored things by and large. The public were needed in later years for crowd events such as Stop that Castle! and the like but no one stands out more than the highly enthuastic extra brought in to...

I too noticed in Mending Stuart's Leg, the real public seemed to be about, getting on with their business, while the filming went on. Would never have happened as the series progressed. HOWEVER, have a look at the beginning of the 1973...

It is an early series and the public might not yet be very aware of the show. The shot of the Trio walking is done on a very long lens, so the camera would be well away from the action. Although they are talking to each other, what we...

I noticed at the start of Mending Stuarts Leg, the publics interaction with filming seemed relaxed, not taking a lot of notice of the trio walking along the streets and I am pretty sure they were not all background artist. I also...

One of us used to climb up on the roof of our two-story house and turn the antenna while another of us watched the effect on the screen and shouted updates to the one on the roof. Our parents probably were horrified at the danger, but...

I don’t miss our old set from the ‘70’s. The picture used to go fuzzy and to solve this we had to thump in the top a few times and it would make a fizzing noise and then two loud bangs and it was then ok. The funny thing is we thought...

Do you remember with the rented TV's if you called out the engineer, he would whip the back off and if he could not fix it withing 10-15 minutes he would take the set away and leave a loan set

Absolutely persisting it down here all day in Cheshire and very windy. It’s supposed to be dry again next week week for a fair while. Last weekend we culminated a week in North Yorkshire (in the campervan ) at Bedale and the weather was...

Well 36 hours later and all is well, just a little sore where the tooth was removed, now able to eat okay, the worst part was getting the tooth numb enough, took a few goes, the actual removal took about 30 seconds, but it's done now...

Hope you're feeling better soon @maltrab, they're a pain those wisdom teeth - but they do their own stunts. :fp:

Had the joys of the dentist this morning, wisdom tooth removed, all done pretty quick once it was numb, just a bit sore at the moment

Given how prohibitively expensive that show was in terms of "aging" the background, I wouldn't have expected them to eliminate the cables just for a photo, although they could possibly have been edited out.

For @Pearl

Airbrushing things in and out reminds me of Kryten's shocking comment in Red Dwarf episode when they crew beam down into Dallas and Kryten says " We could go behind the grassy knoll and shout Duck" . these photo edit packages are...

Well done, they should have given you the job of editing
