However, I wish I had a digital camera when I visited the recently-closed giant MGM Studios in 1970 not long after it had closed. Last week, I visited the show house on the new ‘Empire’ estate being built off Studio Way that was once part of the MGM Studio. It is hard to explain to non-film buffs the pleasure of having a whole film studio to yourself. I wonder how many residents living on the Studio Estate know the origin of the name of their road. Perhaps one day we will have a visitors centre or museum celebrating our unique 100 years plus film and television heritage, but who knows.
