This episode is my conversation with Sarah Virani, Partnerships and Marketing Manager at Regent Street Cinema. Sarah contacted me on social media with the intention of getting the message out about this lovely little cinema in London. Full disclosure, I was offered complimentary tickets for a screening, but I haven’t taken Sarah up on that offer. What really interested me was the historical aspects of the theatre. As you’ll hear, it’s been there in some form since 1848! Being a cinema history buff, I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to visit and check out the birthplace of British Cinema. This is, I guess, my first location report type episode. It was good fun. It is shorter than a normal episode, but I hope you enjoy it.Normal proceedings will continue as from episode 48. Next up is D-NEG's Paul Franklin.
