What's So British About Star Wars?
Star Wars has always had a presence at BritishFest, but what connects the British Isles to the Galaxy Far, Far Away? The answers lie in the history of the films' production. From Sir Alec Guinness and Peter Cushing to Daisy Ridley and John Boyega, from Pinewood Studios in London to Skellig Michael in Ireland... Star Wars just wouldn't be the same without the British people and places that have helped make it as amazing as it is for the last 41 years and counting! Join Jedi Masters John P. & Amy B. as they salute the British influence over the world of Star Wars. |

Time Team Panel
Time Team was a British television series that originally aired on Channel 4 from 16 January 1994 to 7 September 2014. Created by television producer Tim Taylor and presented by actor Tony Robinson, each episode featured a team of specialists carrying out an archaeological dig over a period of three days, with Robinson explaining the process in lay terms. The specialists changed throughout the series, although it consistently included professional archaeologists such as Mick Aston, Carenza Lewis, Francis Pryor and Phil Harding. The sites excavated ranged in date from the Palaeolithic to the Second World War. |
