    I recall being on Tarbert quay back in 1958 as an 11 year old with a crowd of others. A BBC film crew were there filming an episode of the first series (B/W) of Para Handy.  They wanted a young boy to to be filmed being chased round the deck by one of the crew.  The filming was done with the puffer off the Pier Road opposite the White Shore. Who was that boy? Any suggestions....and which puffer was it? I don't know if it was the Boer or one of the many others that brought in the coal.
