I think FF could only get hold of the BBC masters. The nicklodeon masters were in terrible shape even more so than the BBC's which were at times shocking before the clean up process.
Dont worry I wont take your comments personally bkev, FF did the best they could with the stuff they had access too. for me being involved in the official set it was a blast and although I was involved i'm a fan more so and totally get what your saying.. theres not a lot I can say about the US release at the moment though..
