This is really interesting. I am typing this in the Radion Building, just feet away from where George would have worked in his days as a projectionist .
The BBC has been in this building for nearly 30 years, longer than it was used as a cinema, and it is really good to know something of its history.We still have traces of our cinematic past here, particularly in the roof space, but George’s memories make it come alive.
If any enthusiasts would like to have a look round the building, then please contact me.

It is a wonderful building, probably overlooked amongst some of the more famous places in Leicester. For those that haven’t been, do take up Charlie’s kind offer above!
