Film star Bill Nighy will be a special guest at Whitley Bay Film Festival this Wednesday evening where he will talk about his life and career.
The BAFTA-winning actor - who will be introduced by festival patron Ian La Frenais - is to take part in an interview and question-and-answer session, following a screening of his 1998 flm hit Still Crazy. The event is set to be a highlight of the popular two-week-long film festival which takes place at venues across North Tyneside and it will be hosted in North Shields at The Exchange Theatre.
There are still some tickets available to join the night's entertainment which will see audience members invited to take part in the conversation with Nighy after the film, which was written by La Frenais and his long-term screenwriting partner Dick Clement with whom he created such comedy classics as Porridge, The Likely Lads and Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.
