Join Lawrence from Universally Bedford as he steps into his podcasting DeLorean for a fascinating deep dive into the incredible journey of Universal Studios—from its humble beginnings as Carl Laemmle's pioneering Hollywood studio tour, through decades of thrilling expansions in Orlando, Japan, Singapore, and Beijing, all the way to its latest ambitious adventure: Universal Studios Bedford.
Discover the reasons behind each groundbreaking expansion, from friendly rivalries with Disney to strategic global ambitions, all told through engaging storytelling, historical insights, and a dash of dry British humour. Lawrence explores how Universal transformed from an innovative Hollywood backlot experience into a global entertainment powerhouse, culminating in the UK's own mega-theme park project set to transform Bedfordshire into a world-class destination.
Tune in for an exciting ride through cinematic history, business rivalries, technological breakthroughs, and Bedford's bright entertainment future. Great Scott! It's time to tour Universally.
