Big Time Pictures Reviews

Filming of Tim Burton's 1989 Batman took place here.

Terrible treatment of audience members.

After moving into the studio early as only 1 toliet was working we were told we had to sit in our chairs and could use the toliets in the first break.
At the break we had a guy shouting at us to sit down. At the second break only 10 people were allowed. Baring in mind there was only just over 10 people waiting.
i got sent back to my seat twice. As it is a free ticket questions how seriously they take customer service

Great night out watching through the keyhole being recorded ,

Fantastic private tour of Pinewood Studios the home of films in the UK. It was great to see where the James Bond movies were made.

Pinewood has an enviable history of films including Star Wars, Skyfall, Casino Royale and too many to mention.

We passed Goldfinger Avenue, the street where the film was shot to the iconic 007 Stage the largest soundstage in Europe which also was used for the submarine scenes in the Spy Who Loved me.

You see massive amoubt of work and skill that goes into making films. Very friendly people who love working there.

Also got to have lunch in Hitchcock's Grill in the original old Manor house, Heatherden Hall where you can see the Awards including Oscars and BAFTAS.

Thanks to the team at Pinewood for a wonderful memorable day!

I went along to be a member of the audience of a popular live show. Treated fantasticly.... great security.

Told to get here at least 2 hours early for recording starting at 7pm. Got here at 4:45 and was told the car park wasn't open until 5:30. Currently parked on the side of the road hoping that when we eventually can park there will still be tickets left as they aren't even guaranteed. Update: one of us walked up from where we were parked at 5:15 to be told by the ushers they'd now been letting people in to park for ages! We're now being made to sit in our cars in the parking lot.

One of the largest studio complex in the world. Famous for the best films seen on the big screen. Also hosts events focused on Cinema.

I went in a course at Creative Media Skills here. Highly recommended if you are in the hair, wigs and make up industry. Certainly a place with history, where the magic happens.

Loved the experience of being in an audience but security and reception are the rudest people think they need training

such a well ran ,and efficient studio . an honour to be there

Your experience of this place will obviously depend on what show you are going to see recorded. It is a reasonably basic set up, but there is ample parking, a decent-sized holding marquee, and snacks and drinks available (but they don't come cheap).

Great on site parking, great tv show friendly staff

The most uncomfortable studio I have ever been in. The usher staff are also the rudest people, it was more like a weekend in a prison camp than an evenings entertainment.

It was brilliant place to go and walk around parking seems a bit hectic but overall experience is brilliant. I would surely recommend every one to visit this place once

We went to Pinewood Studios to watch Taskmaster being filmed, which was Brilliant. Also the staff were amazing, I am slightly disabled and the staff took me around to the studio on a golf buggy and then back to the car when the show had finished.

Nice place. Would've been nicer if they'd put me in a film.

Amazing facilities with revolutionary film making studios and the best work experience and insight I have had yet

I have no opinion on this location. I work here, and, as it is so dangerous to say anything to anyone, I really don't want to be studio-isn't. So, mum's the word

Massive big studio with a recent expansion into land which was supposed to be greenbelt. Wouldn't mind if it was really used all for filming however there are lots of companies that run from the premises which have nothing to do with the film industry. It also does very little within the community as all jobs are sourced outside for individual films.

When ever I'm filming here, it's a pleasure, great people working on amazing things in the heart of the film business. Love it

I come to Pinewood Studios weekly for actor training. The staff are always polite and helpful. I mainly see the guys at reception. Obviously they're all security and have to do their job, making sure only authorised people enter and only go to the parts of the studios they're allowed to be in. But top blokes at the same time and accommodating for those with special needs.

Have to deliver here regularly, always struggle to get round the site as the parking is so poor there, cars and vans just abandoned on corners so nobody can get past them

A amazing time once again at this Iconic Venue watched Taskmaster Recording and the staff was lovely people and just overall great experience

No professionalism at all, one of the worst companies ever; moreover, they are extremely incompetent.

Great to see TV shows being filmed. Have to pay for drinks/snacks unlike other studios

Drove 100 miles, got here early, despite having tickets told it was full. Thanks a bunch, never bothering again.

Iconic and full of film history. Great place to work

TV audience members are crammed together on uncomfortable plastic seats. You will be touching shoulders with the people either side of you the entire time and your knees will be touching the seat in front. Not good when you have to sit through 4 hours of recording. Avoid!

Just a quick social visit, be back next week for work.

Soooo exciting recording for national lottery show!

I was an extra for three concurrent days working from the main holding area adjacent to the Stanley Kubrick building just recently and was appalled by the state of the Male Toilets - two were blocked on the first day and remained so for the duration coupled with water (and other stuff) on the floors. I came out with wet shoes among other things and was eventually given permission along with others to use the 'children's toilet about 50/60 yards away. Nothing happened for the three days. Disgraceful and disgusting with no Pinewood staff directed to resolve the deteriorating situation.
Modern studios, excellent food, first class transport, support services very good along with polite and courteous security staff but TOILETS? UGH!

I didn't go too far into the studio but it is literally where film magic happens. A very professional place with some beautiful buildings. Not sure if they offer a tour though.

Visited to see a TV show recording.. very efficient friendly staff getting you to where you need to be.. Loads of people in our group but everything went without a hitch.

Most iconic film studios in the world. Very honoured to have been associated here. I am never tired of days at Pinewood. Please visit if you can arrange it.

Attended the cinema here which was a hidden delight! Not just new films but re runs aside

Like previous review, had tickets for dads army, only to be told it was full

The security/reception check in staff need lessons in customer service and manners. The way they talk to people who arent aware of the procedures or the site is disgusting. So rude and arrogant, you wonder how they got a job dealing with the public. Pinewood management I hope you read this.

Great to go to a TV studio that has plenty of audience parking and offers a reasonable waiting experience before the show. Not so good for public transport access.

One of the premier studios in the UK. A little confusing getting in.

If you are going to be an audience member get there early and be prepared for a couple of hours wait. They oversubscribe in case of dropouts so if you turn up later you may not get in.

Went to see 8 out of 10 cats fantastic experience, really nice friendly helpful staff

Fascinating place. If you can get yourself on to a tour - go for it!

I had a great night there watching a recording of "Not Going Out". A very cold night.. we were ushered into a holding marquee and given a beer and waited about an hour to be seated. Lovely evening. Well organised x

The home of uk film production. So much history on one site

Denied entrance to a show because we didn't have "priority tickets" which was never told to us ahead of time. Wasted a full day and a lot of money to get here. Even though they send you tickets for a show, don't ever expect to even get in. Avoid this place at all costs.

Good social distancing measures in place. Felt very safe going here to do a delivery

One Security guy in the glass room is very rude, seems like he hate the job or have problem with public.

Went to see Count Arthur Strong being filmed. Was an excellent experience. There is a tent you can waiting where you can buy teas and coffees snacks before the show. There are toilets once you get through as well I'd recommend you use the toilets where you can before filming starts.

fantastic films made here over the years. just watched in the doghouse 1961 fantastic film

Wow they don t even know what a flat top is ! Call your self a barber and you don t even know 1 of the most iconic men s haircuts in history! Shocking.

Once again the hospitality of the staff was great. If you are going as an audience member you are treated as a guest and not an outsider.
Got to be the best studio we have visited by far also free secured parking offered.

So many great British films shot here a true venue with nostalgia

I made a delivery to the studio's with some canteen furniture and had a good look around fascinating place

Pinewood Studios is a British film and television studio situated in Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of central London. It has served as a production facility for every Star Wars film made since the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm Ltd. by The Walt Disney Company. Disney shot some its biggest films - such as Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Maleficient: Mistress of Evil and Mary Poppins Returns at Pinewood recently.

Great place to go for television shows being filmed. They have a marquee set up for you to wait in and you can buy hot and cold drinks while you are waiting

Great place, to work. I work at the new Jewson depot.Come and see us soon.

Parents got there one hour ahead of the suggested arrival time (travelled across London) only to find out it had been overbooked and there was no room left. Not even a text to let people know.

Great bunch of guys there, but no good when trailer is locked out on 3rd pin,

I went to watch a recording of 8 out of 10 cats. As a disabled person the staff were brilliant. On parking on the helipad I was whisked down to the holding area in a golf buggie as it was too far for me to walk. The waiting was a little while but you could take food and soft drinks with you to eat before going to the studio and there was seating and toilets. There is a small bar with drinks and snacks inside the holding area. I received my wristband for entry and onto the buggie again for a trip to the studio. All staff concerned everywhere were very polite and helpful. A great day and hope I am lucky enough to get tickets again for another recording. Thank you Pinewood for a great experience.

Excellent day. Great company. Friendly people. Make sure you take a packed lunch though.

Really fun area to go to a taping at, they gave us free beer on arrival and the show itself was fun to watch and see the "behind the scenes". The staff didn't really keep us informed on what was going on though, so when our 8pm showtime turned into an additional hour and a half wait time, it would've been nice to know that and not just stood outside in the cold.
