Scala cinema documentary, Charles Dickens Museum, LGBTQ+ cabaret

Former Mr Gay UK David Allwood is the Artistic Director and CEO of β€˜Homoparody’ and joins Carrie and David to chat about the group’s Christmassy cabaret matinee in Clapham’s Two Brewers venue.

Emma Harper, Curator at the Charles Dickens Museum in King’s Cross, says Dickens' advocacy for the working class is reflected in many of his characters, where the impoverished triumph against the odds.

Cinephile Nick Bertram recommends big screen festive films as well as looking ahead to what’s in store for Walthamstow’s The Stow Lounges.

Described as the wildest cinema in the world, London’s legendary Scala is the topic of a feature length documentary. Co-written and co-directed by Ali Catterall and Jane Giles, it charts the rise and fall of the iconic venue. Ali talks about the indelible legacy it created in only fifteen short years.

Have your holiday-themed jumpers at the ready as we hear the new single from singer-songwriter Chloey Rose, β€˜This Christmas’.
