[Note: Producer Christopher Figg asked me back for the sequel, which had a bigger budget and was filmed at Pinewood Studios. Unfortunately, commencement of principal photography coincided with the "Black Monday" stock market crash on October 19, 1987 and, as a result, the film's budget had to be drastically reduced. Somehow everybody got the job done. This was another great experience, even though the interference from the American producers was much more noticeable this time. For one scene (which isn't in the final film) I got to be a roach wrangler for a day—not one of my favourite jobs! Still, I remember this production for being the first time I met screenwriter Peter Atkins, who went on to become one of my closest friends.
