Come out with us to the pictures. We talk with Professor Bruce Bennett about this fascinating programme from a cinema in Lancaster in the 1920s. We learn about the films that people were watching, the places they were watching them in, and the unusual claims of the proprietors that they were helping keep people alive.

Fascinating and accessible piece of our local history within the whole context of the new form; who watched and why, how they behaved, which films appealed. Strangely all still very relevant to anyone who enjoys the cinema experience.
