I'm keeping my old DVD, then. It has tons of great extras!

     NEW Interview With Clapper Loader Trevor Coop
     NEW Interview With Focus Puller Bob Jordan

They're kidding, right? Couldn't get the "Best Boy"? How about the "Honey Wagon" driver?

[Mord]

They're kidding, right? Couldn't get the "Best Boy"? How about the "Honey Wagon" driver?

That's on the 5th audio commentary.

[Mike Scott]

That's on the 5th audio commentary.

Did they need 5? 

[Mord]

Did they need 5? 

Actually, there are six. One is hidden as an Easter egg ( I think it was with the cigarette machine service guy).

Quatermass and the Pit - Extras

     NEW Interview With Clapper Loader Trevor Coop
     NEW Interview With Focus Puller Bob Jordan

They're kidding, right? Couldn't get the "Best Boy"? How about the "Honey Wagon" driver?

Yeah.  I wondered, too.

But two guys who were probably on the set almost every day.  Maybe young and less hampered by studio politics from  gossiping...

Didn't nail down which Bob Jordon.  But here are Trevor Coop's iMDb credits:

        https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0177819/

Looks like he was working the camera department in a lot of films beginning in 1967.  He might have some insights to offer.

[Mike Scott]

But two guys who were probably on the set almost every day. 

I suppose, but I'd rather hear from directors, writers, actors, etc. Depending on the movie, maybe FX artist, makeup artist, etc.

Didn't nail down which Bob Jordon.

This is him.
