Today we visited Texas Hollywood \/ Fort Bravo near to the town of Tabernas. It was here that in the 60s and 70s, Sergio Leone produced among other films, the Spaghetti westerns. Films like “A Fistful of Dollars” and “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”.<\/p>\n

The location was chosen due to many similarities in the landscape with the Wild West of America and particularly because it was cheap to mass produce films here.<\/p>\n

This is Universal Studios on a beer budget!<\/p>\n

The film sets and buildings remain largely in tact and the “actors” at the site produced a couple of western “acts” during the day.<\/p>\n

There was also a film crew at the site, the main presenter arriving by helicopter and judging by the number of selfies, he must be a famous TV presenter.<\/p>\n

He’s the chap in the picture with the white shirt and blue shorts. Answers on a postcard please. Seriously, I’ll leave the comments section open so comment to me your suggestions as to who this famous personality is!!<\/p>\n
