Default Hell Drivers DVD Special edition
This is a splendid set for fans of this film which also contains extras including The Stanley Baker Story, a short documentary "Look in on Hell Drivers" which has interviews with Baker and Alfie Bass on sets which might help those who are researching the actual locations. On DVD 2 there is a complete episode of "Danger Man" and an armchair thriller "Who killed Lamb" starring Stanley Baker as a detective investigating the murder of a business man in Oxford, (pre Morse!) it also stars Simon Turner who I recall was in several tv series at the time and I believe went into the pop music industry.
The excellent booklet by Dave Rolinson gives some very interesting information about the film and mentions Britmovie forums! There are a lot of new photos I have never seen before.

One interesting fact I never new about this film from the commentary is that the fight between Baker and McGoohan was real! Not in anger but neither was it performed by stuntmen and they did actually hurt each other. McGoohan was once a boxer.

I love Hell Drivers and have watched it many times, but the real highlight of this set from me was Who Killed Lamb? A very entertaining 'whodunnit', well written and produced. Stanley Baker looks very relaxed and give a nice performance.

Baker also did a fair bit of amateur boxing in his youth. If you watch the 'Look in...'docu, you'll hear him say they both gave as good as they got.
