The UK's newest film and TV studios have fully opened.
The site in Shinfield, near Reading, boasts 18 sound stages, including two of the biggest in the country at 43,000 sq ft and has already attracted major feature films and TV series.
Situated alongside the M4 motorway, the site was given the go-ahead by planners in 2021 and has opened in stages over the past two years. It is part of a boom in British film and TV production, much of it working to meet the demands of global streaming services.
Its US owners say the studios should provide an economic boost with major films typically requiring productions crews of three to 500, including skilled technicians and craftspeople.

US actress and director Elizabeth Banks also had to change her name because there was already an Elizabeth Mitchell - her real name - registered with the Screen Actors Guild.

But she said during an interview to promote her new show The Curse that she "freaked out a couple of years ago" about not using her real first name.
"For some reason, I was like, 'I can’t do it any more.'"
She said her co-star Nathan Fielder "calls me Em, which is easier", and he added: "That's a way of bridging it."
Back in 2018, the actress said the reason she chose the name Emma was due to her favourite Spice Girl, Baby Spice - or - Emma Bunton.

Emma Stone has revealed that she'd actually prefer if we didn't call her that - because it isn't her real name.
She said she would like people to use the name she was born with, adding: "That would be so nice. I would like to be Emily."
The 35-year-old told The Hollywood Reporter she gets "people that I work with" to call her Emily "when I get to know them".
Stone says she chose to change her name because Emily "was taken" by someone else in her actors' union before her.
