Many well-known movies including Moby Dick, The Dam Busters, the first three Indiana Jones films and the first three Star Wars movies were partially filmed at the former Associated British Studios in Shenley Road. These were partly demolished in the 1980s to make way for a Tesco Extra supermarket on one side and an office block complex on the other. The area between the two has been redeveloped to form Elstree Studios where, more recently, the TV series Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and Big Brother were filmed, as well as several major feature films. Bizarrely, the Inspector Morse TV series' production offices were based in the studios and, although the series was set in Oxford, several exterior locations (banks, shops etc) were filmed in the streets of Borehamwood. Moby Dick directed by John Huston, is a film made in 1956. ...
