A selection of templates for a little Liverpool Small Cinema @TeletextDating project celebrating BFI’s Love Film season.
People would email messages to be shown on the big screen prior to film screenings. It is unknown if anyone got married as a direct result of this service…
This harks back to teletext dating services popular in the UK during the 1980s and 1990s. European services still run similar phone dating hotlines to this day – in fact in some cases they actually subsidise the whole teletext service.
Liverpool Small Cinema closed in 2017 when the building on Victoria Street was converted to a hotel.
