Hi Harrison, I run an oral history project called The Elstree Project, and we have been interviewing people who worked at the studios there - including Brian Blessed, Walter Murch and Steven Spielberg. We wrote to your agent to ask for an interview, and we would love to talk to you... You are Elstree's most frequent actor of the 1980s, and this year in the centenary of filmmaking in the town!

Would you be interested in helping our project?

Hi Brian, for the past three years I have been running an non-profit oral history of the studios of Elstree and Borehamwood, called The Elstree Project. It's a project with my film degree students at the University of Hertfordshire and a group of local volunteers called Elstree Screen Heritage.

We've interviewed some of your old colleagues, including Martin G Baker (on Stage D at BBC Elstree Centre!), Walter Murch, props master Barry Wilkinson from Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal, as well as scenery, effects and stage crew from The Muppet Show and The Great Muppet Caper. Other interviewees include Brian Blessed, Sir Roger Moore and Steven Spielberg.

This year is the centenary of filmmaking in Elstree and we are preparing a special documentary for release in September. If you are ever over in the UK before September, we would love to interview you, if this is something you'd be interested in contributing to?

Mr Pegg you lovely man, just wanted to say thank you so much for being a part of The Elstree Project... now when are you coming back to film your next toilet scene (Death Star toilet attendant!)?

And when is Man Up out?

Awesome question!! :D

Ah brilliant, thank you - if you aren't in London perhaps we shall find a way to get to you! Should we contact you through Martin?
