On the Buses was Elstree hit - but time ran out for Hammer | St Albans & Harpenden Review
This week we travel back 50 years to Elstree Studios in 1970 to see what was happening. The Studios was still fully manned, with hundreds of staff employed year round, which sadly meant the facility was about to enter an era awash in red ink. Bryan Forbes had been appointed head of production and tasked with keeping the studio afloat. Bryan told me: "When I arrived I expected to enter a battlefield but not Hiroshima. They promised me a revolving production fund that did not revolve and when I asked for enough money to renovate the ageing buildings they gave me enough to repaint it."
