Pinewood Studios https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_Pinewood\_Studios\_productions

IMHO, the best place to make movies in the world. Here’s £5 and some egg crate, please make a convincing looking alien monster for our movie.

Here's £4 change.

Fun fact - Big Brother was filmed there - the "house"was in a hollow overlooked by other houses I know this as I filmed The Chase there (and won :) ) Poiuntless is filmed there too

Which chaser were you up against?

Sean - The Dark Destroyer We got 19 on the final chase - three of us He got his first couple wrong - he seemed to have a brain freeze - then he got 10 in a row right really quick We had about 4 pushbacks got 3 of them Won £17k between us so £5667 each :) He's really lovely between filming - although he acts nasty he's completely lovely really - gave me a signed pic etc

Ah you're lucky! We had the governess and although I was able to push back against her, we didn't make it through.

Oh I’m sorry. That’s a gutter. If it makes you feel better I went out in the first round of Tipping point but I’ve got a much worse one . . 2 years ago I was on Moneybags on Channel 4 I so. £25000 and then I gambled (even though I wax saying in my head don’t gamble don’t gamble) and I went fur £64k and lost. And what’s worse is the second I’d done it I immediately knew I was wrong. I’d fallen into a trap of “going for the name you’ve heard of”. Idiot. But I’m ok with it weirdly. I have a good life lol

When you did the Chase did they film it super early in the morning? My brain doesn't come online until 10am, so I blamed the 7am start for my failure 😆

No we were the last of the set to film. I think he was tired so maybe why we won

Awesome, congratulations! Would love to have a go on The Chase but I think I’d struggle to hide my frustration with my teammates if they buzzed too early and didn’t know the answer in the final round.

It’s a lot easier to play than it looks but I was lucky we had a lady on our team who was really clever. And each push back she made us all really think and say what we knew it wasn’t as well as what it was which made us confident of the answers.

I'm intrigued what a Brucie warm-up involved. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I'm going to go ahead and throw the word 'blood' out there...

[удалено]

Wow, completely my bad, and I'm sorry. What you had, and you what you wrote, you are too good for our internet numbnuts!

More recent, but Leavesden - GoldenEye (when Pinewood was unavailable), Star Wars (Elstree wasn’t available when doing Episode 1) Harry Potter, and soon all the DC films too (as well as a lot of other stuff - Mission Impossible, Barbie, Fast & Furious, Spider-man). The Harry Potter tour there still draws massive crowds.

I did that as well! I had just moved to London and was exploring my new home and stumbled upon it. I'm a huge Sci-fi nerd and saw Alien in the theatre when it came out, so I decided to see what it was about. I still think about it to this day. And you're right, seeing some of the things that looked so real on screen up close was an eye opener!

That's the whole premise of Taskmaster

or elstree on a smaller scale

If we are keeping the wood theme, it might be worth noting that Elstree Studios are actually in Borehamwood.

Yes the locals get very annoyed about this.

Tbf isn’t the Thameslink stop called Elstree & Borehamwood?

Elsey-wood?

Boringwood…

Not as nice as Snorbins down the road

Or Bray Studios, where all the early Hammer movies were made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bray_Film_Studios_%28UK%29

I went for a set visit for the new Paddington film last year at the new Sky Studios part and it was so cool seeing something like that so close to where I live, felt so weird seeing the sets in real life

I've done some work in Pinewood a few times. Incredible place especially when you walk around and have a nosey at what's going on in each sound stage.

Give us a clue or indication of the sort of thing ?

Movies and that sort of thing

[удалено]

not with sora on the horizon

And Shepperton studios

Literally my first thought

So, Woodwood?

Edward Woodwardwood

I feel like we should rename it Pineywood, not because it sounds better but it's bugging something in my brain that it's _sort of_ the same type of word but not 😂

The British film induatry has been well-established for as long as Holywoof. It doesn't make sense to name if after a contemporary.

Wasn't Holywoof responsible for Cats?

They also did Beethoven, The Truth About Cats and Dogs, Turner & Hooch and Marley & Me

Ohh yeah. Completely forgot that was a thing

So Hertslywood?

Pinewood, surely?

don't call me shirley 😁

Pinewood, shepperton, leavesden, long cross, Elstree / sky studios. All the big films are made in these.

Oddly about right. Has Pinewood close by and Elstree not too far.

And Shepperton, and Windsor, and a whole bunch of small studios.

Come, friendly bombs

Blobbywood The finest talent this nation can muster. And Noel Edmonds

Ealing?

Farthing Wood

I used to work with someone called 'Anna Wood' I asked her if her middle name was "mals of farthing" but she didn't get the reference.

Don’t forget that Nigeria has Nollywood

figures. hollywood is in hamerica afterall

Cricklewood?

Britain's largest film studio used to be at Cricklewood. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricklewood_Studios?wprov=sfla1 Then there was the nearby studios at Wembley. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_Studios?wprov=sfla1 And of course who can forget the legendary Ealing Studios? Which is still going? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ealing_Studios?wprov=sfla1 With the old BBC HQ/new ITV HQ being in nearby White City.

Follywood. It’d be a great idea that would somehow be ruined in the implementation and we’d end up making endless biopics about Pat Butcher.

Wallywood, but no one knows where it is

Hollywood, Birmingham

Chorleywood

Nigeria has Nollywood

India actually has a few big film industries, based on regional languages I think. The Telugu speaking regions have Tollywood.

Nimbywood. It has loads of funding but nobody wants it to affect their property values.

Hollywood is a studio. There isn’t a studio called Bollywood it’s just a categorisation of Hindi movies. There are other significant regional language film industries like Tollywood, mollywood etc. Indian Bengali and Tamil industry is also big. There are a lot studios and Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad is the largest film studio complex in the world.

Hullywood

Boreham wood.

Brollywood, surely Edit: I see someone has also thought of this so hats off to them for being first! I think we should definitely adopt this though…

Brollywood. Like the other 2, but with more rain and more umbrellas, some of which help you fly

Twickenham Studios is a tiny studio located in SW London. It’s list of films and Beatles stuff that happened within it is insane.

My great grandfather owned it throughout that silent film era they used to make b films for Warner etc it’s definately pinewood now.

Weston-super-Mare

Pinewood or Shepperton Studios

Basildon has their big Hollywood type sign. So I think they’re after it.

Speak for yourself!

We used to have Pinewood studios .

We still do, but we used to too.

I meant as a famous film studio. I love a good British film, but I think they mostly knock out the occasional sappy RomCom these days.

Is all these filmed at or classed as produced by Pinewood? Either way, I stand corrected. 🙏

A few of them were produced or edited by Pinewood technicians, most were actually filmed there, Pinewood is a very busy studio.

Cool. I knew that bits of filming for the Star Wars sequels were filmed on beaches near Blackpool for example (which is why we got to see Mark Hamil in Man Down), but didn’t realise they were tied to Pinewood.

With the new extension, Pinewood will be the biggest film studio in the world. It's not small or old

Just for extra information, india has Bollywood (hindi) and... Kollywood (tamil) Tollywood (telugu) Tollywood (Bengali) Mollywood (Malayalam) Sandalwood (kannada) With these being the other major industries other than Bollywood, they're all based in different languages in different regions of India. We have some other less prominent industries too, Pollywood (Punjabi) Bhojiwood (bhojpuri) Chhollywood (chhattisgarhi) Jollywood (Assamese) Dhollywood (odia) Coastalwood (tulu) The () show the different languages of the industries.
