Michael Palin reminisces
Michael Palin spoke of his fond memories of Southwold, his memories of the old cinema which he used to visit with his girlfriend (now his wife and with him today). He met his wife here in Southwold and his film "East of Ipswich" was based around his childhood memories of Southwold. He welcomed the new cinema to Southwold saying that it would be very welcome after a 40 year absence and he commended it as a focus for interest in films and film making.
