It became a running joke on set that when something went wrong, it was as though the Knights Templar were angry and were cursing us – hence the Curse of the Templars. Below are listed some of the more significant incidents: Land Rover Crash (09.06.04) Ironically filming had just finished. It was after 10 pm at night and we had packed up and were ready to go. 3 of us got in the land rover, Ian, James and me. After no more than 5 minutes driving on the narrow, twisting roads around Loch Tay in Scotland disaster struck. A corner turned particularly sharply which the Land Rover headlights failed to illuminate in time. The vehicle left the road and began ploughing up the grass, then grass became fence posts and finally fence posts became a tree. But fortune was smiling on us and after extracting ourselves from the vehicle we were relieved to find that no-one was seriously injured. The worst part of the whole experience was having wait for 4+ hours

for the recovery vehicle to arrive while we sat in the middle of no-where, in the dark, on a small road at the side of a Scottish loch while (literally) getting eaten alive by mosquitoes and midges. Police Raid (10.06.04) We were all recovering at Simon’s flat, happy to have made it back from filming alive. The remnants of the Land Rover had been towed back and left outside the flat that morning and we had carted all the gear inside after returning at around 0600 hours (that about 6 am for all those not fluent in army speak). It seems some neighbour’s suspicions had been aroused by two gentlemen dressed in army uniform and one person dressed in Indiana Jones gear alighting from a damaged Land Rover and carrying gear into a flat at such an early time in the morning.
