True. At least for the period between 16mm being deemed acceptable and the advent of "lightweight" video kit.
NB: BBC film crews varied in size depending on the department/requirement; News and current affairs would often use a three man crew( Cameraman/Assistant /Sound recordist) some documentary and specialist shoots would have just two ( Camera/Sound), with the attendant problem of having enough film magazines loaded. Typical camera crew for Drama inserts would be maybe five (Cam/Assistant Cam/Recordist Assistant Recordist/Grip) All scalable for large projects. The essential Sparks (Lighting) would be additional to the basic camera crew as required.
Apologies for continuing to let this thread drift ever further OT
