Mr Brocklebank's World Wide Web Log

A PITIFUL turnout at Woolton Picture House on Saturday for Across the Universe, a fine musical based on 33 Beatles songs.

Mr Brocklebank’s supper party accounted for six of the 26 patrons. This audience surely could not have paid that night’s staff wages.

One despairs if such an entertaining film, partly shot here and written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais of Porridge fame, cannot attract the punters to Woolton.

Where is the support after the outcry and campaign to save this gem-like cinema? Come on, chaps, use it or lose it.
