Come along to the Tyneside Coffee Rooms and have dinner whilst enjoying some of your favourite TV programmes on the big screen. Our TV Dinner screenings brings you classic television at tea-time:

20:15 The Sweeney (45m)
21:00 Life on Mars (60m)

Iconic British crime series, The Sweeney, set the tone for all future crime drama, and was the first TV programme to show police as fallible, cut-throat heroes, with a disregard for authority. A new big screen version is in the pipe-line. Catch the original here, followed by Life On Mars - a show clearly influenced by The Sweeney's 70s style. John Simm stars as DCI Sam Tyler who travels back in time to 1973.
