     I can uderstand that as well.  I have tried to get some of my
friends to whatch british shows with no success.  I don't even get
to whatch it as much as I want due to work and that PBS only shows
it one night.  Also, with trying to fill in gaps in Doctor Who, I
can't even record them as they are on before Doctor Who. :(
     Most definately.  And the one friend that does watch UK shows
has the benifit of seeing them as well.  This is a good thing since
he's the one who turned me on to Red Dwarf and Blake's 7. :)

  Hello Steve,
  Time to make a deal I think....
  Yes, it does.  Although, I suspect that the peice with Hartnell talking
to the audience is missing from it.  Having nothing to go by as to what
exactly he said and where in the episode he said it, I really don't know
and I haven't gotten to listening to that episode all the way through yet.
  The quality is excelent for most of them.  The volume is a little low
in a few early episodes but, not so low that increasing the volume would
distort it.  There are some pops and crackles, sort of like listening to
a "clean" record.  For the most part I can't complain as this is
experienced with the existing films as well.
  Can you get on the web?  I haven't asked my contact about posting his
address here but, I can point you to the URL and you can contact someone
on the list from there.

      http://members.aol.com/dwundergrd/telesnaps/AU1.htm
  I'm also going to ask my contact about being a distributor so I
may make copise for those in FIDO that don't have E-Mail.
   Hummm....help me?  I'd like to get my hands on The Daleks Masterplan
as well.

   Hello Shaun,
   Unfortunatly, I got into Doctor Who in it's last season, so I
only have a vague idea as to what was be shown there at the time.
I don't even know what you consider "kids shows".  Even if I did,
I doubt that i have heard of any but, I would very much like to see
some of them.  But, as you say, it was a long time ago and I imagine
it would be hard to find anywhere now.
     Would have been a good idea if I hadn't already bought all the
Red Dwarf videos as well :).  I'm also in the process of getting the
Doctor Who videos/audios which he will also have the benifit of.
On the other hand, his wife does occasionally buy a US movie that
I would like to see and would otherwise buy if I didn't have so many
good UK shows I wanted to get.  It all works out in the end :)

    Oh, really?  Before I go scrambling off to your BBS, can you tell
me whatcha got?
    Hummm....Let me check something....
    Just as I thought.  I have all of them and haven't gotten to
reformating them yet.  I hope to have them done and back on scedule
by next week.  Then I'll be throwing the "cleaned up" scripts your way.
    Thanks,
   Artimus
