Just before we say goodnight... it seems anything is possible when filming Hollywood films in the UK.
A star of the new Tarzan film has been talking about how a Hertfordshire studio was transformed into the lush rainforests of the Congo.

The Legend of Tarzan - which was filmed at the Warner Brothers Studios in Leavesden, near Watford, had its London premiere last night.
Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgard, who plays Tarzan, said: "I was a bit worried when I heard we weren't going to Africa, I was a bit worried that it would be like us actors in a small green box.
Then I showed up at the Warner Brothers studios at Levesden and it was the most incredible movie set I have ever seen in my life - they recreated Africa there, [with] two massive hangars they turned into jungle sets."
That's all for today's live coverage from the three counties, we'll be back tomorrow morning from 08:00.
Have a good evening.

Button was in the town to help launch a new bicycle rental scheme - based on the Boris-bike project set up in London - but talk quickly turned to this weekend's British Grand Prix.
As they wobbled round the lake and drove off the track - it was clear that Button should stick to fast cars. He said it was "the most comedy interview I've ever done."
The racing driver, who competes in his 17th British Grand Prix at the weekend, said: "I know it's going to be difficult weekend in terms of our performance but I will give it my all... my heart and soul."
The weather's not great and the place is so flat it feels like you can see the curvature of the earth, but Silverstone remains one of the world's truly great grand prix circuits.

A victim impact statement from Nirupa Patel, 56, who was slashed in the face by Tomasz Jaworski in Moon's Newsagents in Park Street, Luton, was read at Luton Crown Court.
She said: "My life has completely changed since Christmas Eve. I jump when people are behind me. I am an empty shell of who I was.
"The feeling of safety I had has completely gone. It's constantly on my mind. The scar on my face will remain. Another reminder every time I look in the mirror."
She added: "I refuse to let the person that attacked me make me live the rest of my life as a victim."

I've been at Luton Crown Court for the sentencing of Tomasz Jaworski for the attempted murder of Luton shopkeeper Nirupa Patel, 56, on Christmas Eve morning.

During sentencing today the court was shown CCTV footage of the attacks both on Mrs Patel and her nephew Jwalant.
We heard from prosecutor Beverly Cripps who told the court how Jaworski, now 31, had first attacked a man at a bus stop that morning telling him he "wanted to fight someone".
He then went into the shop owned by the Patel family, saying he wanted to kill someone. He first attacked Jwalant and then threatened Mrs Patel, dragged her by her hair, tried to choke her and then drew a piece of glass down her face from her hairline to her mouth.

Nirupa Patel, 56, was slashed in the face with a shard of glass during a sustained attack by Tomasz Jaworski early on Christmas Eve morning in Moon's Newsagents in Park Street, Luton.
Jaworski, 31, continually told her he wanted to kill her, and had grabbed her around the neck so forcefully that twice she felt her eyes would come out of their sockets.

He kicked and punched her to the face and jaw, pulled out her hair and beat her on the head repeatedly with beer cans and tins from the shop, Luton Crown Court heard.
Jaworski, of no fixed address, was sentenced to 12 years after he earlier pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of Mrs Patel and two counts of causing actual bodily harm.
Mrs Patel's husband Jashbai, 59, who was known as Mr Moon, died in the shop after being stabbed eight times by robber Richard Dettmer on 14 June 2009.

Ambulance service praised by Bedfordshire family for saving life
The East of England Ambulance Service has been praised by a Bedfordshire family for helping save a boy's life:
The Chilcot report - which has taken seven years to produce - says Saddam Hussein didn't pose an imminent threat and peaceful options hadn't been exhausted. It questions the claim Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and identifies a lack of adequate planning.
The 26-year-old was released by York City after failing to score in 14 appearances last season, but he netted 26 times in 69 appearances in a two-season spell at Barnet between 2012 and 2014.
He told the club website: "It's about winning games and fingers crossed I can help Stevenage do that this season."
Olympic long jump champion Greg Rutherford has claimed he is risking permanent hearing loss in his left ear by continuing to compete.

The 29-year-old from Woburn Sands revealed the whiplash injury he suffered in his last competition - the Birmingham Diamond League a month ago - had caused a severe inner ear condition.
And he admitted that were it not Olympic year, with the chance in Rio to defend the title he won at London 2012, he would likely be taking time away from the sport to get the problem fixed.
He said: "If the room falls silent for a moment all I hear is loud white noise, so it's been a struggle to sleep.
"I don't think there are many long jumpers who can say they have jumped so hard that have lost their hearing, so I've broken new ground there... Hopefully it will come back, but there's a one in four chance it never will fully recover, according to the doctor."

A mother accused - along with her partner - of murdering her baby boy has told a court she had "never smacked" her child and her partner would not have been violent towards him either.
South Beds News AgencyCopyright: South Beds News Agency
Noah Serra-Morrison was 13-months-old when he died at his mother's home in Crawley Road, Luton, last November. Ronnie Tayler-Morrison and her partner Hardeep Hunjan deny murder and claim the baby injured himself by falling out of his crib.
Prosecutors at Luton Crown Court have claimed the boy suffered a catalogue of injuries in the weeks before the massive head injury that killed him.
Ms Tayler-Morrison told the jury that she had never smacked the baby saying: "Sometimes he would make a screeching noise. I would leave him and he would settle down."
She also told the court that Mr Hunjan was "excellent with Noah" and even though he had been arrested for an assault on a neighbour in Northolt, he "wouldn't have hurt Noah. He wasn't a risk to Noah".
