I can remember having to push the old man's car to get it to start on wintery days. Fortunately our street was on a hill My old man had a Hillman Minx from about 1962 that had a starting handle. They never had them from about 1964 on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's how it looked in 1989 http://www.scottishcinemas.org.uk/scotland/dundee/dundee_victoria_dk.jpg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 The Vicky was grotty and run down, but it usually showed auld films that were no longer showing at the 'premium' cinemas, not adult stuff. The Regal in Broughty Ferry was the same. You could still catch kids matinees there well into the 1980's. Mind going there to see one of original the Star Wars trilogy months after it had been shown at the 'big' pictures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Yeah, all the films I ever went to see there were mainstream, but my recollection was that there was a period where they showed adult content.

Florentine_Pogen Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I used to go to the original Odeon on Clerk Street in Edinburgh every Saturday morning for The Kids Club. 12d entrance. (That's a shilling, kids....)....Children's Film Foundation, lots of Richard Wattis & Derek Guyler & The Magnificent Six and a Half..................... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Odeon Kids Club was certainly damn near nationwide in the late 60’s-early 70’s. I too remember the Saturday morning double feature…and not a parent in sight…and that was in Suffolk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know it was a porno palace before but I saw a few 'normal' films there. Missed opportunity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 Did anyone actually go to see a porn film at a cinema? It sounds incredibly grim and an expensive w**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
