TV Starring Role for the Public Hall
People passing the Public Hall last month needed to do a double take at what they were seeing. For it looked as though the building had been sold and been taken over by a new religious organisation, the "Church of the New Spirit".
Not only that, it looked as though some major disaster had taken place there, for a fire engine and ambulance were in attendance. However, all was well - at least in real life. For the Hall, for the third time in its history, was starring in the BBC hospital soap "Casualty". Thankfully the Public Hall survived the "fire" and in a few days was returned to its workday life as the village's well-used multi-purpose venue.
The visit of the drama's cast and crew provided a bit of excitement for the PBA as well, for the Casualty team parked their vehicles in the sports ground car park, which gave the regular morning dog walkers a chance to do a bit of rubber-necking to see if they could spot any celebrities having their breakfast.
We don't know when the episode featuring the Hall will be transmitted, but we have every confidence that our venerable old building will be performing impeccably.
