Very nice and like the personnel touch from editor rather than reeling off the same 20 facts about Jaws.

One other question where is that lake?

So nice of you to comment Paul. We filmed in Rickmansworth – far north London. Well worth a visit on a sunny day.

Hi, Helen, and nice to see you again – you look as though the summer has been a tonic to you!

I really enjoyed this little commentary on this film and related ones, and look forward to further such video pieces from New Empress – thanks, Ap.

Loved this video a nice new angle for New Empress.

Though I must admit I like Helen’s witty comments on the Jaws sequels http://youtu.be/orOCXjPykOs

The New Empress team should post it as story so it can be shared with more viewers!

Keep up the good work guys!
