Hi all,
I thought it worth adding a post about a project I'm currently working on which may interest some of you.
Its a 'nostalgia trip' pet project to collect together as many rare UK TV documentaries on censorship, horror & video nasties as I can. This project isn't for anything official, really just for me and anyone else interested. I have very fond memories of long gone days when such material was on TV, especially the BBC's forbidden weekend where I first saw Bad Taste.
I have made up a fairly comprehensive list from internet research & memory of what has been shown, although I don't actually have everything that's on there, and there is bound to be programmes I've missed. You can see that list here;

From this list I have already have select items, which have been collected together over the last few years of buying (official retail & bootleg), trading & sharing, although I've been a little loose with some specific material just to have it in there (such as Masters Of Horror, which is an excellent US made documentary, but has been shown on UK TV) here is what I have so far, in alphabetical order;

Would anyone have any material that I don't, or be able suggest anything not on my list? Two things I really want are the documentaries 'Last Days Of The Board' & 'Children Of The Video', both of which I saw originally but haven't found since. If anyone wants to make contact, please PM me. One service I can offer is that I have a high end S-VHS VCR so can do high quality VHS to DVD transfers for those who want to help me out, but don't have that facility themselves.
Anyway, enough nostalgia, cheers, Rob.
