Stephen Merchant and his dad have joined calls to save an old cinema in Bristol.
In March, developers Landrose, which bought St George's Hall in Redfield from Wetherspoon's several months ago, submitted a planning application to build 44 bedsits in the building. Local residents who have been campaigning for the Church Road building to be put into community use and for the hidden cinema to be restored are hoping that the council will reject the application.
The group of residents' proposals for the historic building gained cross-party support from local councillors and their petition has gathered over 9,000 signatures. And now the Bristol comedian has shared a video on Twitter which shows his dad speaking about why it should be saved.
