Film crews have been shooting at one of the country's oldest cinemas for a series about the Hollywood greats.

Actor Jack Wilde - who played the Artful Dodger in the Sixties' film Oliver! - visited the Dome Cinema in Worthing to film links for the series Hollywood Confidential.

The cinema dates back to 1912 and was one of the first places in the country to show silent films. It was chosen by the Granada Breeze cable TV company because it is so well preserved.

London-based Scallywag Pictures spent two days shooting at the listed cinema.

A Granada spokesman said: "We were looking for a cinema to film the series about the golden age of cinema and the Dome was perfect.

"It looks fantastic inside and has the feel that thousands of people have enjoyed cinema there over the years.

"The series is about the seedy side of Hollywood with clips of great stars personally reminiscing."

The ten-week series starts next month.
