Top attractions for new season
GOOLE'S new entertainments complex has unveiled its first full season with a host of attractions designed to capture audiences.
Junction's new programme of films include Up (January 6-8) a computer-animated adventure about a 78-year-old retired balloon salesman who attempts to float his own house to South America in order to explore the wilderness. Teamed with an eight-year-old stowaway named Russel, the most unlikely duo on earth are about to take off on an unusual adventure to another world.
For older film buffs there is District 9 (February 4 and 5) a story of how 30 years ago aliens landed on earth, only to be exiled to a refugee camp slum on the fringes of Johannesburg.
But when a human discovers a mysterious secret, he finds out what it means to become the ultimate outsider on his own planet.
Light entertainment is provided by Richard Digance (January 16) who is renowned for his music, poetry, comedy and story telling.
Over the last 30 years Digance has performed at festivals, entertained on cruise ships, had his own TV shows, and more recently appeared on Channel 4's Countdown.
