British TV and film production – buoyed by the rise of Netflix and the public’s return to the cinema – has entered a new golden age.
The fruits of homegrown talent, along with foreign-backed projects shot at the country’s major studios, have been showered with accolades in recent years, boosting the UK’s status as a hub for top-end content creation.
Successes have included the massively popular Barbie movie, starring Margot Robbie in the titular role.The blockbuster was mostly filmed in the UK and the set for the pink-washed Barbieland, including the iconic Dreamhouse, was built at the Warner Bros studio in Leavesden, Hertfordshire.
