Carrie Fisher on why Star Wars was 'low-budget' | BBC Global
This Star Wars Day - May the Fourth be with you - we're revisiting a funny and frank BBC archive interview with Carrie Fisher, aka Princess Leia, from a long time ago… in 1977.
Fisher spoke to the BBC three weeks before Star Wars’ UK cinema release, describing the film as “the most expensive low-budget film ever made".
She discusses the qualities that made both the role of Princess Leia and the script appealing to her, some of the extraordinary techniques employed by the special effects department, and filming the rope swing scene with Mark Hamill.
This clip is from Nationwide, originally broadcast 6 December, 1977.

Why 2024's cicada emergence is so rare | BBC Global
zhlédnutí 20KPřed 3 hodinami
Periodical cicadas have a very strange lifecycle. They spend 13 or 17 years underground (depending on the brood), and then suddenly emerge in their billions over the course of a few weeks. And now, in 2024, an ultra rare "dual emergence" of cicadas is happening - with two different broods of emerging at the same time. It has not happened for 221 years - and won't happen again for another 221 ye...

    What a lovely man - the epitome of an English gentleman. I looked up Mrs. Clark, the young lady that he convinced to get into a lifeboat. Shortly before meeting Frank Prentice, she and her husband had apparently spoken with some of their fellow First Class passengers, amongst them Mr. and Mrs. Isidor Straus. That really struck a chord with me - the Strauses were my great-grandparents. Knowing this made Mr. Prentice’s story all the more fascinating for me. I was just a boy when Mrs. Clark died, but a young man when Mr. Prentice gave this interview. How I wish that I’d met him and had a chance to talk to him…
