[Regia-NA] Re: films

[Martin Field]

Speaking of watching props, about six years ago I recall watching the props
of the latest two-part TV adaptation of Ivanhoe (of which we jokingly
adapted the title to, 'I have a hoe'.
Anyway, about half a mile from the film set was where all the support
vehicles were, amongst which was a certain Volvo estate with a sign in the
back that read Regia Anglorum.
I've always wondered who that person might have been  ;-))
