There's a useful four-letter word . . . and Jane Seymour's full of it.

Or, more accurately, the editor of the supplement is trying to fool the viewer.
In the "Inside LALD" supplement, it is suggested that Seymour did her own stunts (i.e. that she was indeed riding in the back) during the double-decker bus sequences: the spinning of the vehicle and the topping-off of it.
Now, the former is clearly corroborated by the stunt driver that "she was in the back of the bus every time I spun it" (i.e. in each take).
However, regarding the latter stunt (the shearing off of the upper deck by the concrete bridge), it is utter balderdash to conceive that a starring actor would be permitted to participate in such a dangerous stunt, being in the rear of a bus as the top of it is being sheared off, with shrapnel and glass flying all about in the process.
Yet, the editor of the supplement has cleverly tried to suggest that she was, by inserting a clip of Seymour ("I was in the bus.") during the end of the recalling of the sequence. Clearly a filmed, unrelated statement inserted to allude something more specific, falsely. She does not say, "I was in the bus when the top was sheared off."
One cannot clearly make out her (nor anybody for that matter) in the back of the bus during the printed take, and there is no footage of the stunt driver corroborating this being the case (versus where he clearly states that she was in the back of the bus everytime he spun it).
Editing should have been included along with statistics in the listing of prevarications.
