TILL BELLS ring, are you listening? Or something like that.
Liverpool city centre stores are dangling a Christmas carrot of reindeers, movies and Titan the Robot to lure in shoppers as the big trolley dash 2012 gets under way.
So, For the next four Thursdays the BBC Big Screen in Clayton Square is to show festive classics for free - so get your thermals on (from that stall just by Wetherspoons).
City Central BID, which represents retailers in the city centre, has commissioned the films to entertain people as they go about their late night Christmas shopping.
The first cinematic instalment is 1985's Santa Claus, The Movie, starring Dudley Moore as the chief elf to Santa. It will be screened tomorrow (Thurs Nov 29) at 12.30pm and again at 4pm.
The films are part of a free package of festive entertainment to run across four ‘Super Thursdays’ to get shoppers in the Christmas spirit.
Clayton Square Big ScreenAnd Metquarter is also hosting special Christmas events ever Thursday until December 20.
Ed Oliver, Chairman of City Central BID, said: ‘’Our businesses want to give everyone a memorable time when they are in Liverpool city centre."
He added: ‘’With film classics, live music, Titan, the reindeers and the Christmas market the city centre is going to be buzzing. If you love Christmas, you’ll love Liverpool.’’
But still no sign of Metal Mickey, some of you may sigh.

'Santa Claus the Movie' - a classic?
"Reindeers"?

'Miracle on 34th Street' (the proper 1947 one) was on Film Four last week. Made me blub like a damned foreigner.
