The 25th anniversary of the saving of Elstree Studios

I KNOW time flies, or as we say in Borehamwood tempus fugit but I cannot believe this year marks the 25th anniversary of the saving of Elstree Studios. In 1996 Hertsmere Council stepped in and purchased the remaining 15 acres of the studio for less than £2 million, whereas a few years before Tesco had bought 12 acres of the site for £19 million.
