Interesting Fact # 1018 - Films
Aberystwyth, is going to screen the classic Monty Python movie "Life of Brian".
(I can hear all the Annoying Mouses out there going "Well that's not interesting". But it is, because 30 years ago this Welsh town banned the film. No one thought to revoke the ban because few people realised it still stood, and now there'll be a one-off screening for charity at Aberystwyth Arts Centre. It should be a good night as Michael Palin and Terry Jones are expected to attend.)

Yep - I believe they had to get special dispensation to show it!
