[=SDC=] Q58. See You

There's a building (C) in Holmfirth, Macclesfield, Chippenham,
Bognor Regis and Northampton (and elsewhere, probably, though
I haven't found any outside England) that connects two
words (A and B) that I learned this year. A is a psychological
condition which used to afflict Frenchmen; B occurs in the
Gerlish-sounding expression "to go B".
Name A, B and C.

C: The Picturedrome cinema.
A: Je m'etais ennuye but now ... paf!
B: I go pictures?

question has languished for over 2 days... so it must be hard.
I must confess that I didn't fully understand this one even
though I have the crib sheet with the answers next to me.
I thought Gerlish was maybe a derivative akin to "Valley Girl"
- until I googled on it und das pfennig ist gefallen.

Yeh, I had gotten as far as the Picturedrome for C but was having trouble
making any other
headway and set this one aside.
I was willing to posit A as Tourette's syndrome since I liked the similarity
of the
'drome" part with Picturedrome and there is the French Connection
but B "to go Drome" or "to go picture" left me cold.
Pictured Rome was interesting but led nowhere
Besides, these are all words Jitze knows. I'm not sure there are any words
he
doesn't know so the assertion that he learned some new words last year seems
dubious.
However, nothing ventured nothing gained so here is my latest surmise:
A: Tourette's syndrome
B: To go tourettes (there appears to be some usage of this according to
Google, presumably a meaning akin to coprolalia )
C: Picturedrome
and one alternative though Pic's syndrome is not pyschological
A: Pic's syndrome
B: "to go to the pics"
C: Picturedrome

How about B: "to go 'ome"?

Often war is waged only in order to
show valor; thus an inner dignity is
ascribed to war itself, and even some
philosophers have praised it as an
ennoblement of humanity, forgetting the
pronouncement of the Greek who said,
"War is an evil in as much as it produces
more wicked men than it takes away."

Well, C is Picturedrome. But then I get stuck.

Ah, if I had seen the earlier references to Picturedrome, I had
forgotten them. Still, this was All My Own Work.

Gerlish expression might be "der Pictur" (anagrammed) and "to go 'ome"

SE Midlands - at least in my day - as Bonkers' Paradise.
The French ailment is a fear of catching CJD from British
beef, and is known in London psychiatric circles as
BBS, or Bovine Bonkers Syndrome. And, of course,
the Gerlish-sounding expression is "to go bonkers".

Picturedrome is C
Tarantism is A (non-stop uncontrollable dancing mania first appeared in
France in 1374)
To go raving (non-stop dancing)
Rich

And if it was not totally obviously (T.O.) clear, Picturedrome's host
dance events like raves and raving is also connected to "raving mad"
thoroughly connecting tarantism, raving, and the Picturedrome.
