UGC Cinemas, which has a complex in Middlesbrough has finally launched a website, www.ugccinemas.co.uk

It will give cinemagoers comprehensive film and programme information, as well as online booking facilities where customers can search for screenings by the film, location or date of their choice.

The launch of the website in the UK was planned to coincide with a strong pre-Christmas period for the industry, which includes the current release of the second Harry Potter film - The Chamber of Secrets.
