I have had the best Christmas ever. Not only were my family well enough to enjoy it when others were laid low with viruses etc, but we had a real treat by seeing three box office hits at the Plaza cinema in Dorchester over a three-day period.

It was great to see the place buzzing with people, with showings sold out in some instances due to their popularity. At £2.50 per person we had the best possible advantage of not only saving money, which cannot be said for national chains, but also comfortable seats and very good leg room.

Why on earth Dorchester needs another cinema is beyond me.

My family will remain faithful to the friendly people who run the Plaza and from hearing what others are saying I can confidently predict an ongoing success.

They deserve it as they have brought an old institution back to life.
