Good grief. The sad thing of course is that - from the evidence of my DVDs -
BBC Resources have done by far the highest quality work on their various
Carlton DVDs than the other company(companies?) used. I know the name of the
other one but I shall say nothing based on what Steve has just said.....
To be honest I don't think Carlton care much what we think....even if the
comments are good...
