Thursday 7th The nine lives of Tomas Kats (Cert 15) - John Clare Theatre, Peterborough. 7.30pm. An extra-terrestrial looking like an early 19th Century bagman, materialises near the M25 and hails a cab. Soon afterwards he has exchanged his appearance to that of the cabbie and thus begins a series of role changes, each one heralding ever more cataclysmic chaos. The only person who has an inkling of what is going on is a blind senior police officer with a Ouija board, and a more than passing acquaintance with astral planes. This has to be one of the strangest films of the year! Wednesday 13th Video night at Sue & Pete's, 29 Fletton Ave, Peterborough.
