UK TV WATCH: 'I LOVE 1977' REMEMBERS 'STAR WARS'

The front of house of the Leicester Square Theatre Cinema in December 1977, as every performance of the new STAR WARS is quickly sold out!

UK STAR WARS fans can relive the joy and excitement of the Christmas 1977 release of STAR WARS all over again this Saturday at 9.30pm within the BBC's continuing programming strand looking back at the influences of the 1970's , with a welcome repeat screening of the I LOVE 1977 entertainment show, hosted that week by Carrie Fisher from her L.A. home, with a great section on the cultural phenomenon (nay, explosion!) that was the original STAR WARS. With some nice clips from the original version of the movie, the sold out first UK screenings (that were only in London's West End cinemas), a look at the merchandising and some occasionally fun memories shared by some well known, and not so well known, UK celebrities popular in the early 2000's, it's well worth a look....
