Hell Drivers (1957)

Trivia: An uncredited Ronnie Barker appears in a minor role in two scenes in this film; he is a worker at the gravel pit and only speaks one line in each scene. Sean Connery appears in this film as truck driver Johnny; this was only his second film role.

The Likely Lads (1976)

Factual error: A running gag in this film is Bob getting the wing mirrors stolen off his car every time he visits Terry at his flat. Bob's car is a Vauxhall Chevette; these cars were only fitted with door mirrors. You can see the screw holes on the doors where the standard fit mirrors have been removed for filming.
