Hi, I have no idea if this conversation is still active but I am the co-Originator Director and Producer of Grim Tales with Rik Mayall. I have a collection of masters, umatics and vhs tapes but it is an expensive process and I have no idea if they have survived the passage of time. The only way to find out is expensive. If any proactive fans out there can put a fund together, I would be very interested in discussing it! Best wishes to you all and thank you for remembering…Bob Baldwin.
Hi Bob, I absolutely loved this show as a kid and my wife, who loved Rik, had not seen them before! I’ve been showing her the few poor quality copies on YouTube and we’ve been laughing out loud together! I’ve been searching for better quality copies for a while and that’s when I came across this thread and was thrilled that you had responded! When you say that it would be expensive to get copies of the masters you have, what sort of figure would we be talking? It would be such a shame for these to not be available to a wider audience and I’d love to do what I can to help make that happen. Would you be up for having a chat and seeing what might be possible?
Thanks!
