Defying the trend of video shops closing their doors, one store in Thirroul, the longest-serving business in town, has survived for almost 40 years.
At 78, John Wallace is looking forward to retirement and his wife, Marion, says she isn't far behind him.
As a young couple 37 years ago, the Wallaces stepped into an exciting new entertainment industry opening doors into a glamourous world with Hollywood appeal. In the early 80s the film hire business was a thrilling place to be. Now their amassed film collection holds treasures available both on VHS and DVD."The customers are pretty good here. When we first started, we knew everybody in Thirroul but it's a different kettle of fish now," he said.
