The film features an all-star cast led by Tom Cruise, who returned as Captain Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell, in a thrill and minute film that won rave reviews.

The success is just the latest accolade for Twickenham Film Studios, which has a long and glorious history dating back to 1913 involving a long list of Oscars and BAFTAs, for productions such as Bohemian Rhapsody.

It has hosted many of the greats from film to popular music, from Michael Redgrave to Michael Caine's Alfie and The Italian Job, through to the Beatles, Richard Attenborough and more recently Kenneth Branagh, who worked on Belfast there.
