Veteran broadcaster Barry Norman is to return to the BBC next month to present two cinema history programmes on Radio 4.

The former BBC Film host, who quit the corporation in 1998 after 26 years to work for Sky, will present the shows as part of Radio 4's fortnight-long film season.

Norman will host Archive On 4's Going To The Flicks on January 15 and 22, celebrating a centenary of cinema-going since the establishment of the first Hollywood film studio.

The programmes will examine how people often remember the experience of visiting the cinema more strongly than the films they actually saw.

They will also explore Saturday morning children's screenings and failed novelty attractions, such as aromatic movie screenings.
