I don't know if anyone has watched the new Star Wars spin-off series "Andor" (it's really very good), but it's really noteworthy for some of the location filming that featured in the last 3 episodes.

They had a crew of 500 shooting in, on, under, and around, the pumped-hydro dam facilities at Cruchan Dam, Scotland. The cinematography is really good and they really make the most of such an impressive structure in such an imposing environment.

Well worth a watch.

Haven't seen it but might if I can get it without another subscription, did visit Cruachan many years ago and it is an impressive place.

Saw the last episode, which was my favourite, mentioned it to my son - we watch it together, yes dad I knew that!

That is one industry the has a massive carbon footprint and generates so much waste.
