Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 27th March 2022
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. The borough is just settling down again after the whirlwind excitement of last week’s official civic tour by the nice young couple from The Big House up on Long Street, unofficially dubbed as a royal tour. After visiting a number of outlying districts in their air-conditioned black Range Rovers, the couple made a number of scripted speeches, patronised the local residents and collected a wide range of local artefacts as souvenirs of their visit – a Moonrakers’ tea-towel, a slice of lardy cake, and a framed photo of the Caen Hill locks at sunrise.
2. But there is also much new excitement brewing at the prospect of tonight’s big ceremony at The Palace Cinema, where the annual DOSSERs (D-Town & Outlying Silver Screen Excitement Rewards) will be handed out. Favourites for Best Picture are The Power Of The Frog – a western tale of the difficult relationship between two amphibians on the Crammer, Mune – a sci-fi blockbuster featuring Moonrakers who can’t spell properly, and Bell-Fast – a gripping tale based on real-life incidents when the main bell at St Mary’s got caught by its own bell-rope.
