I was Master on a ROV Support vessel undergoing trials after an extended refit in Malta Drydocks. Were were frequently asked to move out of the camera range to prevent us appearing in the film. When the trials were complete some of the crew were ashore where Oliver Reed was partying in a bar in the Gut. This was to be his last party sadly, and he died as no doubt how he had wished to.
