Mayor seeks to end ban on Brian
Sue Jones-Davies, the current mayor of Aberystwyth, is trying to overturn a near 30-year ban imposed by the town on Monty Python’s Life of Brian. If the name rings a bell it’s because, almost 30 years ago, she played Judith Iscariot in the film.
It is understood a committee made up of church leaders in Aberystwyth recommended a ban in 1979.
Ceredigion council has the power to lift it, but a spokesman said no-one in the licensing department knew about the ban.
But Michael Davies, the owner of Aberystwyth’s Commodore Cinema, said he was sure it was still in place.
There’s more over at Savage Popcorn.
