00:00 Well, my name is Brian Barnsley and this is the Penistone Paramount in downtown Penistone
00:09 in South Yorkshire. This building's been here 109 years, will be 110 next year, and it's
00:16 been a cinema all that time. The longest we've been closing was the dreaded COVID. We show
00:22 movies, mainstream movies, we show art house movies, but this weekend we have an absolute
00:27 treat in that we are screening the 1923 movie Hunchback of Notre Dame. It will be accompanied
00:34 on our Compton Paramount organ by Donald McKenzie, who is the organist at the wonderful Odeon
00:40 Leicester Square.
