00:00 My name is Tim, I live in Maltravers Street in Arundel.

00:03 We went to see Wicked Little Letters on the opening night at the Arundel Town Hall.

00:07 It was fabulous, great movie.

00:09 And so nice to see the whole of the town being featured and put on the map, if you like, in the south of England.

00:15 It's always deserved the exposure, but that film really made a huge difference for it. We loved it.

00:21 We were dressing our windows and changing the shop front as well, so that people could date it back to the 1920s.

00:27 And I thought Arundel looked fabulous, dated back to the 1920s. It was awesome.

00:31 People are already coming in and talking about it.

00:33 And a lot of the shops are, if you like, making the most of the opportunity.

00:36 Even with ourselves, with little bits and pieces on Wicked Little Letters.

00:41 And it was great to have it up in the town hall, you know, a little cosy little place to have the film shown.

00:46 So it's a very intimate opportunity. And everyone was applauding at the end of the movie. It was terrific.

00:51 I've lived in Arundel now for seven years, but I've lived in the location for 40 years.
