Time Bandits returns to the cinema

OK, I don’t often write about films or what’s on in cinema’s but occasionally a message arrives that will make some people yelp with delight.

Time Bandits is back!

A cleaned-up copy of the original tape has been prepared for DVD sale, but more importantly, it is also being shown in a few London cinemas from this weekend.

Little men on a Big screen.

It has long been one of those strange feel-good fantasy films that just works and leaves a warm feeling at the end.

Of course, there is always the lingering doubt at the end — was it all just a dream?
