I don’t know whether the two additional screens were ever constructed (regrettably I didn’t think to ask) but they were not being advertised when I visited in July 2013.
The Regal has indeed reopened, restored to its former glory with a similar auditorium layout to the Rex in Berkhamsted.Two further intimate screens are due to open on the fourth level of the building in the summer of 2012
The Regal is now due to re-open in early 2012, with one large screen (with tables in the stalls like the Rex, Berkhamsted) and two new mini-screens on the roof.
After a number of failed attempts, it now looks hopeful that The Regal will re-open as a single screen cinema in 2010.

An excellent new book on the history of the Regal Cinema has been published in May 2008 by local author Rob Hemming. With over 160 photos and 192pp, the hardback edition of ‘Shazam!’ – The History of a Regal Cinema, is available by contacting the author by e-mail: .uk
