One
such
example
is
the
location
of
the
paint
store
where
Neville,
Wayne
and
Barry
divert
the
attention
of
Herr
Ulrich
during
a
game
of
football
(image

whilst
Moxey
loads
a
wheelbarrow
with
primer
during
daylight hours in episode, 11 'The Lovers' (image 46a).
In
reality,
this
paint
store
trailer
(Image

position

is
located
adjacent
to
the
Turks
Hut
which
is
situated
only
a
few
yards
from
the
front
door of Hut B, (position NN)!

And the magic of television continues at Elstree...
According
to
Director
Roger
Bamford,
the
BECO
Building
Site
film
set
at
Elstree
Studios
was
designed
in
such
a
way
to
ensure
there
was
‘always
a
way
out'.
This
provided
various
routes
throughout
the
set
for
characters
to
appear
and
disappear
from
sight
thus
permitting
greater
flexibility
and
creativity
during
filming
whilst
convincing
the
viewer
the
building
site
was
far bigger than reality.
Whilst
some
scenes
amalgamate
locations
filmed
many
miles
apart
(trivia
#23,
above),
others
filmed
at
Elstree
Studios
are
a
great
deal
closer
to
each other than the story-lines lead us to believe.
