How on earth did they film Indiana Jones on a collapsing bridge over a torrential river in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"? Or create the astounding space battles of "Return of the Jedi"? Or the awesome realism of deep space in "2010"? "Horizon" goes behind the scenes to watch how the world's best special effects technicians created some of Hollywood's most spectacular pictures. Images are built like super jigsaw puzzles, 170 separate pieces of film and three months work creating just two seconds of cinema magic.

Old Kent Road
From Chaucer's pilgrims to inter-continental juggernauts, generations of travellers have taken this historical route from Dover to the old City of London. It has become part of London's folklore, living up to its reputation as a place for a good night out; there are still 14 pubs along its two-mile stretch. You can also get a quick suntan or wallow in a Jacuzzi at Sundance City, buy the latest casual wear at Le Pel men's boutique, or sip a "slow comfortable screw up against the wall' in the Dun
Cow Champagne Bar. These establishments live happily side by side with Bert's Eel and Pie Shop, the Fishing Tackle Specialists, and the world-famous Thomas a Beckett gym.
This film looks beyond some of the shopfronts you'd normally pass down the A2 and reveals a host of unexpected personalities, mostly two-legged but above all Bermondsey born and bred. Film cameraman LAURIE RUSH Film editor MARK DAY
