Elstree Studios, situated north of London in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire were opened in 1914, originally as Neptune Studios, and quickly became a cornerstone of the British film industry.
Over the years many films were made there before ATV bought them in 1961, producing long-running television series such as The Saint, The Persuaders and The Muppets. ATV became Central TV and moved its operations entirely to Birmingham. The 成人快手 bought the site in 1983, now known as 成人快手 Elstree Centre, and the studios became the base for many of the 成人快手's most popular shows, including Grange Hill, Top of The Pops and Kilroy.
Elstree is best known today as the home of the 成人快手's soap opera EastEnders and Studio D at the site is used for large studio productions such as Children in Need and the 成人快手's election coverage. Across the road in Borehamwood is another site known as Elstree Studios, leased by 成人快手 Studioworks since the closure of Television Centre. This is used for recording the 成人快手's flagship entertainment show Strictly Come Dancing.
