After his sell-out appearance & rave reviews earlier this year, George Layton returns to The Cinema Museum with his seasonal show.

“George Layton delivers a captivating masterclass in storytelling from a golden age of childhood freedom and innocence. An unmissable Christmas treat for parents and children alike” Richard Littlejohn (Daily Mail).

George Layton is probably best known as a theatre, film and TV actor: The Doctor in the House/ Doctor In Charge/ Doctor At Large series (1969-91); It Ain’t Half Hot, Mum (1974-75); Minder (1979-82); The Sweeney (1975); EastEnders (2011-12); Fagin in Oliver!; Mr Cellophane in Chicago. In the early 1970s he started the long-running Sunday night BBC TV That’s Life with Esther Rantzen.

He has also had a successful writing career, having created two award-winning television series Don’t Wait Up (six series, 1984-90) starring Nigel Havers and the recently late Tony Britton, and Executive Stress (three series, 1986-88) starring Penelope Keith.

George also wrote many of the various Doctor series, as well as My Brother’s Keeper (1975-76), Robin’s Nest (1979-81), and early shows for On The Buses (1972-73).

George returns to read festive extracts from his best-selling books, The Fib, The Swap and The Trick, three celebrated collections of linked short stories focusing on post-war Britain, each story narrated by a nameless self-confessed coward from a single parent family.

After the show there will be a meet and greet with the audience and chance to purchase George’s books.

Doors open at 15.00, for a 16.00 start.

Refreshments will be available in our licensed cafe/bar.
