Alumni and guests are invited to join the Northumbrian Cambridge Association for their Festive Afternoon Tea and Film.

Over the last eight years, our Festive Afternoon Tea and Film at the Tyneside has proved to be a wonderful pre-Christmas treat, and so we’re offering it to members and friends again this year. Once more we will be directed to the Tyneside Cinema’s digital lounge, beautifully decorated with Christmas baubles, trees, stockings, and a cheerful fire. We will be served a glass of prosecco followed by sandwiches, cakes, tea or coffee on vintage china, and popcorn and a candy cane to go with the film. There will also be a cash bar for those who might like something extra. After tea and a chance to chat with friends old and new, we will have a showing of a special Christmas film.

Directed and produced by John and Roy Boulting, I’m All Right Jack is based on the novel Private Life. A personnel manager is tricked by the owners of a missile factory into hiring one of their hapless nephews to work as a labourer. His conscientious industriousness upsets his workmates, who go on strike (as intended by the owners).

An award-winning comedy with a stellar cast, I'm All Right Jack is seen as the finest of the Boulting brothers’ satirical films, with all walks of post-war British life on the end of insightful acerbic humour.
