Despite the digital revolution, reading a magazine on a device is never quite as good as the real thing. It’s not all nostalgia - although yes, there is something wonderful about flicking through pages at leisure while getting a hit of the distinctive smell of ink and paper - physical print is actually easier to read. We spoke to Alex Smith, the man behind the independent magazine shop Ideas On Paper, about why print is here to stay...

From his first experience of Saturday morning kids’ shows at the pictures, Rick Wilde became hooked on not only films but on how cinemas worked. Beginning his career in 1953 as a four teen-year-old, he worked as a projectionist until 2006. When he joined the business there was 52 picture houses around the city: from the crude conversions of the early 1900s, the gilded Victorian palaces of the 1910s, the art deco continentals of the 1930s, the sophisticated twin and triples of the 1960s and 1970s, to the multiplexes of today - he’s seen it all. A walking encyclopedia of Notts cinema shares his knowledge with us...
On 7 November 1935, the Savoy Cinema opened its doors to screen its first film, Flirtation Walk, a musical romance starring Dick Powell. It was likely that only the Lenton locals took any notice of this event because, at that time, there were 52 other cinemas in and around Nottingham. So if it wasn’t that extraordinary then, what is its place in Nottingham today? And how in Cockleman’s name has it survived so long when the others have not?
