I have been lurking around these forums for months, re-living a childhood dream, it’s amazing to see so many with such passion for the movies I hold so dear.

I have looked in amazment at some of the work done to preserve the ANH as it was first seen.

Anyway, …

My first glimpse of Star Wars was on VHS recorded off the TV complete with adverts (ITV).

Sadly I can no longer watch this copy as the video was lost long ago. I wonder if any other VHS rips with adverts are floating around?

Does anyone know the dates for UK airing for ANH on TV? When did it first show? Etc? I was told that my father recorded it when it was first on TV, he does not remember the year. “79 - 81ish” he thinks.

I remember very little of the adverts other than one about sweets… either skittles or m&ms… tones of them lots of children and like a fountain of sweets. Any guidence of what the year of this airing may have been would be nice.

Or my dream come true… a DVD transfer of the tv airing i watched (with adverts) for me to ware out… I can dream 😉

again, any advice or help would be great.
