#CINEWORLD Reports said the Cineworld Group was preparing to file for bankruptcy. @Meshy_p wrote: “When it costs in excess of £80 for a family of 4 to watch a film and have snack, you can see why!”

@shaunplym8­7 replied: “It would cost more for a family of 4 to go and watch a game of football, yet people do that on a regular basis.” @thejonreev­e chimed in: “Watching a movie should be considerab­ly cheaper than watching a one-off live sports event with a limitation on attendance.”

@jfc_ j4mbo wrote: “But there's hundreds of staff behind movies and they take years and lots of money to make for just 120 odd minutes or less.” @Bobblobert wrote: “Some films are available at home as little as 4 weeks after they’re released in the cinema and many people are lucky enough to have HD/4K TVS. They're fighting a losing battle.”

@Manjots97 said: “I have a 4k/hdr TV but still prefer watching movies in the cinema. I know there are plenty people just like me.” @asubiarosa­mual said: “If they were many people like you, the company won't be filing for bankruptcy.”

The master of being not quite comfortabl­e.” @pipmadeley tweeted: “As good a foil as any sitcom writer or actor could ever wish for and with flawless comic timing to boot.” @jamescbrig­gs said: “Absolutely gutted to hear of the passing of Josephine Tewson. She will always bring a smile to my face as the ever patient (and slightly nervous) Elizabeth in Keeping Up Appearance­s” @miegradyse­z wrote: ”Another sad farewell to a treasured colleague. Josephine Tewson was such a great performer, a joy to work alongside for many years in Last of the Summer Wine. I saw her as Nurse in Romeo and Juliet many years ago. She brought that same radiance to everything she did. Darling Jo.”
