“What a lad that Rodney Bullock was in his heyday! He loves to retell his stories and you can’t help stepping into his world,” said Sue Bergin, events coordinator at the hall.
The film does come with a warning as it is not suited for those who are unfamiliar with the Suffolk bawdy humour!
Entry to the screenings is free, thanks to Neil. Donations to the Hall Restoration Fund are gratefully received and teas, coffees and light refreshments will be available.
The series continues on Sunday, February 1 with a screening of Lord Sainsbury’s Gardener and on Sunday, February 8 with a showing of My Life with Percherons.
