If you are now suffering from cabin fever and needing to get out away from all the leftover turkey then you could go and see a film at The Cameo.
Our recommendation is showing only once today at 16.45 and it is the great Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 A Space Odyssey which has been restored by the British Film Institute. HAL will no doubt be as creepy as ever, though this is a certificate U.
