Star Wars actor Harrison Ford says playing Han Solo after 30 years was "absolute fun".

"You put on the pants, you put on the boots, put on the gun belt... You tell a story," he told 5 live's Colin Paterson on the red carpet at the premiere for The Force Awakens in London.

The new Star Wars film is the seventh in the franchise and follows on from The Return of the Jedi which was released in 1983.

Harrison Ford also described the on-set accident in which he fractured his leg. "Somebody hit the wrong button," he said. "It happened swiftly."
