SPACE: 1999 IN PINEWOOD STUDIOS

When I was looking for news updates regarding the status of actor Harrison Ford and his accident on the set of the new Star Wars movie, in research for a posting I did (here) on a set made for the old television series Space: 1999, I saw a photo which proved to be a serendipitous find.

The photograph is an aerial view of Pinewood Studios in the U.K. and I recognized a couple of sound stages which were used for Space: 1999 -- stages L and M.

Along with stages J and K, these spaces were built in the mid-late 1960s to help facilitate Britain's then burgeoning television series production.

Pinewood Studios has a fascinating history.
