Title: Old TV progs on dvd
Post by: Bugloss2009 on December 21, 2009, 09:57:04
has anyone bought any dvds of old TV progs from those specialist online places (ie not BBC for instance). I just want to know what the picture quality is like. I fancy treating myself to some kids programmes from the 70s. Found the first episode of "Roberts Robots" online. It was a right laugh but the quality was rubbish

I was thinking about Roberts Robots, Pardon My Genie, Catweazel or even Timeslip  :o ;D

I have the box set of Auf Wiedersehen Pet.  It  is great.  Also purchased old films such as Spartacus,  Stalingrad,  even a dvd of Laurel & Hardy.  All with no problems.

My sis bought me the Catweazel and Worzel Gummidge dvds-don't know where from, probably Amazon. The quality isn't perfect but it's not terrible-the nostalgia carried me through anyway!!!

worsel Gummidge - that's another one   ;D

it's just if you look for "cult" movie dvds they've often been taken from an old betamax tape someone found in a skip, and whoever's selling them doesn't have the copyright. Different for uk TV progs, but I bet they haven't looked after the tapes too well

I bought all the Camberwick Green/Trumpton/Chigley ones from Amazon last Christmas, my little Granson brought them with him when he came to stay this week - I'm not sure who enjoyed them most!
