THE BISHOP’S WIFE

Bishop Henry Brougham (David Niven) has been working for months on the plans for an elaborate new cathedral which he hopes will be primarily paid for by a wealthy, stubborn widow.

Dudley does help everyone he meets, but not necessarily in the way they would have preferred. With the exception of Henry, everyone loves him, but Henry begins to believe that Dudley is there to replace him, both at work and in his family’s affections, as Christmas approaches.

Up until now, our programme has always been presented via the medium of DVD or Blu-ray, but since Covid we’ve noticed that the increasing popularity of streaming means that some films are now only available as downloads.

We do have the capability to show downloads, but this will be the first time our main feature has been sourced this way.

Obviously we’ll try to avoid too many blunders, but the process is different to just pressing the play button like we usually do (and we sometimes can’t even manage to do that properly) so please be patient.

We’ve tested our systems, it does seem to work and hopefully, everything will be alright on the night, but just in case it isn’t, we may have to alter the programme.
