Sometimes we shoot ourselves in the foot. I posted that link , while it working , about a month back. I guess that such things may draw the attention of freepers who grass on us - same thing happened to a complete copy of The End of Suburbia on another link which a Duer posted. I also believe the same may be happening on some of the YouTube links we post which get mysteriously withdrawn to "invitiation only private user groups" on YouTube.x(

4. I'd willingly have done the same
but my print which I got here on Amazon.co.uk is our european PAL - it was quite cheap. The NTSC prints on Amazon.com seem to cost considerably more than mine was and even that is only when they're available.

There was a BBC production of it back in 1954 when I was a child - all I recall was everyone talking about the rats. :) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0174444/
