An old cinema, it may well have been open in the days of the silent screen. Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keeton, Ruby Keeler, they may have been here. According to the Reader's Digest Great Illustrated Dictionary a palladium is "A sacred object held to have the power to preserve a city or state possessing it." You can see why Midsomer Norton did not want to pull it down.
