Well, more of an afternoon really! Here we are at our new home for enjoying Opera – The Savoy Cinema, Corby. Beamed live to the cinema, from none other than the famous Royal Opera House, in our book, this is the smart way to enjoy Opera! 👍 Last time we were here was to see …

Off to the cinema – The Savoy in Corby – with Jo & Janet (Ann sat this one out!) We’re here to see ‘Project Hail Mary‘ – a sci-fi adventure that I actually hadn’t read much about. Official Synopsis “Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship with no recollection of who he is …

A Night at the Opera

Posted on Wednesday, 14th January, 2026 @ 10:45 pmUpdated on Thursday, 15th January, 2026 @ 7:35 amby Steve PalmerCategories:Cinema, Opera, Savoy

We’re off to the Opera – in Corby. Now there’s a sentence, I didn’t think I’d ever write! 😀 We’re here at the excellent Savoy Cinema in nearby, Corby for the livestream of the RBO‘s latest production of Verdi’s La traviata (translates to “The Fallen Woman”). Don’t worry, it’s not a Health & Safety theme! …

“Your Crackers, M’Lord!”

Posted on Wednesday, 10th December, 2025 @ 8:55 pmUpdated on Thursday, 11th December, 2025 @ 4:09 pmby Steve PalmerCategories:Ballet, Christmas, Cinema, Savoy

The ‘Christmas Spirit’ continues (Turkey for lunch too!) as we headed to nearby Corby, and the Savoy Cinema to see the two-act Ballet and festive favourite: The Nutcracker. At this time of year, understandably, it was a popular performance, making it impossible for all five of us (Diane, Val, Sue, Ann and me) to sit …

Thunderbirds are… 4K!

Who needs the TARDIS to travel in time? All I need is an episode of Thunderbirds to instantly transport me back to the 60s! In fact, it was just after my 9th birthday that I first got acquainted with the Tracy Family and all their high-tech kit (ahh, so that’s where I get my obsession …

Posted on Saturday, 15th March, 2025 @ 7:00 pmUpdated on Saturday, 15th March, 2025 @ 7:53 pmby Steve PalmerCategories:Film, Friends, Savoy

This afternoon we joined Jo & Janet on a trip to the Corby’s Savoy Cinema (our new ‘go-to’ picture house) to see the new film: Black Bag for its early evening performance. It was only our third visit here since our local Odeon closed down – and it’s been worth the extra miles, in every …

I’m back into my ‘Marvel Movie Phase’. 👍 Actually, I never went away, but I think Marvel Films itself (who are desperate to rekindle their past box-office successes) have drastically reduced their output of late – so there hasn’t been much to go and see! 🤔 Our destination? My second visit to the Savoy Cinema …

This wouldn’t usually be my first choice of film — I’m more into ones in ‘spandex’! However, we had an ulterior motive! With the local Odeon recently closing its doors for good, we wanted to see what ‘The Savoy’ was like in nearby Corby. Apart from CineWorld at Rushden Lakes, this one is now probably …
