Yeh, I know what you're saying, but it could have been so much better.
It's
sad that the original broadcast that I have on one of the "video tape"
things (remember them), is still the best copy I have of this episode.
Only
it's now in a box up in a cupboard somewhere as I didn't expected it to be
of any use anymore. Ah well...
Anyway, is this newsgroup used much? I used to monitor an OFAH Yahoo group
which unfortunately was closed down, and have only just spotted this
group.
I know there's not a lot to talk about, now the beeb aren't showing them
so
much, but with the new one at Christmas .............
