Duration: 20 minutes
Director:Jo Prichard
Every day, on the top floor of an iconic 1960’s shopping centre hundreds of regulars take up their usual spots in the London Palace Bingo Club. Some come for the cheap dinners and the free tea and coffee, but many stay to relax, socialise, play bingo, dominoes, gossip, and party together.
As this area’s billion-pound redevelopment nears its finish, the club finds itself the last piece of the old neighbourhood now sitting within a drastically altered picture.
Jo has produced documentaries for Netflix, Sky, Discovery, the BBC and Channel 4. The Palace is her first film as a director. She advocates for equal opportunities for women documentary directors and co-authored the 2021 We Are Doc Women Factual Television Survey Report.
