Episode 2: Cinema in the North East

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio OrkneyLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio Scotland Highlands and Islands

Mark Stephen takes a look at how cinema has changed since it first arrived in the North East in 1896. At one time Aberdeen had more picture houses per head of the population than any other city in the UK. From the nostalgic days of the silver screen to the emergence of the modern day community cinema, we chart the rise, and fall, and rise of this pioneering industry, through memory, archive and the living experiences of today.
