COLISEUM SAVED
The
Coliseum Cinema in Porthmadog, North Wales, has its future assured following
a campaign to attract locals to use the facility following a downturn in takings
in recent years. The cinema, built in 1931, has relevance to Prisoner fans
as it was where the rushes of the original location filming were shown to
the crew in 1966, and also where the world premiere of the episode "Arrival"
was screened.
