I have a copy of it on video, if you give me your address I will send you a copy on DVD.(if my DVD recorder is copying OK, had a bit of trouble with it lately!! :well: )
It is the year of Neil Robinson being shown round by Grunty, and the year that Gene McDonnell was lost after hitting a horse.
A good documentary.
