Hello Paul -

Nice to see you at Britmovie!

Hopefully we'll see more of you and hear lots of your wonderful stories about the heyday of British film...

Cheers,

Smudge

Its all a little fluid at the moment but any ideas, info, photos or footage you have (or know of) would be greatly appreciated. I am a self confessed Star Wars and Indy nut so I have been tracking down footage and photos relating to their production at Elstree in the 70s and 80s. I have also found some great behind the scenes footage on some old BBC docos and on some DVD extras from Labyrinth and Dark Crystal.

Personal stories are also wanted, particularly if you are willing to talk and have photos of your experiences.

Thanks
J

Just to say that i have a copy of Part 2 of The Elstree Story narrated by David Putnam and broadcast by the BBC around 1989.
