UK's first free Blockbuster.

That is how this new Midsomer Norton venture has dubbed itself.

Today has seen the Premiere of the UK's first Free Blockbuster free retro video rental, and it's in Midsomer Norton!

Take a movie, leave a movie (or just take a movie and bring it back).

There is just one remaining original Blockbuster store in Oregon USA.

Where movie fans still make pilgrimages to experience a now bygone era of movie rental. But from that the freeblockbuster.org movement has sprung up, mainly in America where there is a large community of old school VHS (video tape), and movie fans.

Entrepreneur Joe said: " I've always had a love of retro and vintage things, and felt the need to bring this experience to MSN. A perfect extension to Miscellaneous Joe's, my local small business selling retro, vintage, and collectible items, including old VHS tapes and machines!

"You can find the movies outside (or maybe inside) Celia's Place on Midsomer Norton's High Street."

So if you want to go back to the future, remember be kind, rewind!
