A LONG TIME AGO in a village in Hertfordshire just off the M1...

1976 to be precise there was a studio in this village called Elstree, some sci-fi film was being made there by a director whose first name was George, it left behind a legacy. That film was Star Wars, that director was George Lucas. Ringing any bells now?

So what is ELSTREE 1976, well in truth ELSTREE 1976 is a documentary about the effect that Star Wars had on the lives of those involved in even the slightest of roles.

Star Wars made stars out of actors like Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher but there were many characters who had their faces hidden behind masks and helmets! No one would believe that this would go on to colour their lives even four decades later. ELSTREE 1976 gets in touch with some of the actors who made Star Wars what it was, but who are mostly invisible to the public at large. Some of the actors are just a step up from being extras, while others are featured players whose faces were hidden behind the masks that captured the imaginations of generations of viewers.

IT'S TIME FOR A PARANORMAL BLOGDOWN WITH THE STARS OF PARANORMAL LOCKDOWN

When a haunted house in the UK attracts the attention of two really famous paranormal investigators from the USA, you know that there's something pretty special about the location.

30 East Drive is probably THE most talked about haunted location in 2016, it divides more people in the paranormal world than ever before. Week in, week out dozens of paranormal investigators walk into this house expecting the unexpected, or some might say, unexpecting the expected, such is the current levels of activity in this place.

The beauty of 30 East Drive, is that it is not a castle with a history of bloody battles, sieges and Kings and Queen, nor is it a 14th Century Coaching Inn with hundreds and hundreds of years of legends, tales and urban myths, this is a council house, on a council estate.
