Welcome to your Sunday Nostalgia newsletter! Here's a selection of three articles published in our section in the last week. | The lost cinema buried metres below one of Birmingham's busiest roundabouts |  | | In September 1988, a Birmingham city centre cinema played a triple bill of classic films - Ghostbusters, Aliens and Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi.
Then, decades of silence and darkness - despite millions of people and cars passing metres over one of the screens for years.
Find out what sits, unused and unloved, under a busy roundabout here.
| When a lion escaped into the streets - and was found eating sandwiches |  | | One day in 1979, the "concrete jungle" of the West Midlands suddenly became very real. A visiting circus had a shock when a lion escaped into the streets.
"I thought it was a Great Dane!", said one woman who saw it wandering down a West Bromwich street.
Find out how this lion found a new favourite food here.
| The popular TV crime drama that turned busy Birmingham into sleepy Yorkshire |  | | If you were shopping around for locations for a Yorkshire-based crime drama, the big city of Brum wouldn't immediately come to mind.
Tons of traffic, tall concrete towers, and big department stores don't exactly scream "quiet, scenic northern town".
But the producers of crime drama Dalziel and Pascoe pulled it off - find out what bits of Brum made it in.
