I was actually there in the hall working while they filmed. Had to duck down out of sight every time they called action. Missed a few and so I am in some out takes somewhere :-) Fascinating weekend. Loved my years working in that computer hall.

I used to work at BRA01 as a computer operator (started as a tape librarian) then moved onto the Laser printer operator & finally as a fully fledged operator. I am in that picture bottom left in the dar suit.
