The latest Academy update had no sooner winged on its way than a change of plan became necessary – though only in May. There is a major hall booking at the end of that month which means there will be no DVDs on the last Thursday and Friday. Since this will affect the second series of Broadchurch, it’s perhaps as well to clarify dates now!

Broadchurch will come forward by a week and there will be slight rearrangement of other DVDs so the following is now the plan – still provisional but hopefully not to be changed again!

MAY AND EARLY JUNE

· Thursday 2 May On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

· Friday 3 May Invitation to the Dance

· Thursday 9 May Broadchurch Series 2

· Friday 10 May Puccini: Madame Butterfly

· Thursday 16 May Broadchurch 2

· Friday 17 May The Dante Project

· Thursday 23 May Broadchurch 2

· Friday 24 May Verdi: Requiem [first performed 22 May 1874]

· Thursday 30 May Private function

· Friday 31 May Private function
