One of Dicks best Crab studios films was 'The Sweeny Comes to Saltburn' in which Dick played someone who had robbed the local garage. Andy Morley drove the getaway car and the car salesman at Watsons garage was pursuaded to let us film in there.

Dick also famously made a short film involving the miniture railway where he tied Steve Muirs sister to the rails and waited for the train to round the corner before dashing into shot to rescue her (he hadn't told the driver he was going to do this film)we all legged it with the irate driver shouting at us! Dick and his movie camera also had shots at concerts of early Chris Rea and David Coverdale before either were famous.
Film nights at Dicks house were always worth waiting for
goodnight Dick
