Cast:
Simon Pegg, Martin Freeman, Bill Nighy.  Director:  Edgar Wright
London policeman Nicholas Angel is too good at his job, so jealous colleagues arrange for him to be transferred to a quiet town in the West Country. There he finds he has got a naïve young assistant who has seen too many cop shows and dreams of gun-fights and car chases, and that the only crimes are grafitti-spraying and occasional drunkenness. That is, at first. Soon he finds himself in an escalating world of murder and conspiracy.  (Contains mild violence and swearing)

Saturday 29th November - 1.45 pm  " WEST SIDE STORY" [ USA 1961.  Colour Cert PG]  Musical
Cast:
  Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, George Chakiris, Rita Moreno   Director:  Robert Wise.
This famous film, based on a successful Broadway musical is based loosely on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.  Instead of two warring families we have two gangs of New York street-youths, the Jets and the Sharks, and the story of their feuds and their romances. With fine songs and stunning choreography by Jerome Robbins, this became one of the most popular film musicals ever made, filled with energy and fine performances.  A classic.

Films in Peel 2009 programme
We shall publish the 2009 programme in December when we have gathered all your feedback about the films you like and want to see.  We hope that you will take advantage of the advance purchase of a season ticket.  This will give you the very best bargain admission price and if not for yourself, it would make a great Christmas present for someone you know.
A programme leaflet will be available in December.
