Help those deprived of FilmFour!
Posted Sat Sep 16 15:42:32 BST 2000 by Bent Halo
You may have caught me prattling on about Alan Clarke and 'Scum' on the Banned Forever thread. By sheer coincidence a Clarke season is broadcast by FilmFour this week.
Now I can't access this channel, but I would love to know if anyone can tape the following for me. I'll return the favour in some way.
MONDAY:
'Alan Clarke' documentary (30m)
'Christine'
TUESDAY:
'Elephant'
WEDNESDAY:
'Billy The Kid and the Green Baize Vampire'
None of these have been screened for at least nine years.
Haylp!

I have FilmFour and would be happy to tape these in return for several blank videos, and one with Mon, Tues and Weds episodes of Seinfeld on! (which is on BBC2 at the same time.) I presume long play taping is no good - don't worry if it isnt as I've plenty of tapes.

Is this taking you back to your school days Al?
You'll be comparing the sizes of your blank spaces next.

Al am I right in thinking you've become a Budhist since we last spoke?

No - but it might be an idea. I'm a very unhappy camper at the moment.

Oh dear. Could a This Life box set help ease those worries?

Hmmm. Probably not. I guess you've seen the trailers for 'Attachments' the new BBC2 drama series from 'the makers of This Life'. And Amy Jenkins has a film out. <sighs deeply>

Al but where is the fighting spirit you once had flowing in abundance?
Amy's film may flop yet.

And speaking of FilmFour (weren't we???)...
I was going to get it but my cable company charges £6.00 instead of 5.99. Bloody cheek! Do they think I'm MADE of pennies?

I've been taping your Alan Clarke stuff, and e-mailed you a couple of times but had no reply. Do you still want them? Is your e-mail working? Are you OK????

I was going to video your film four stuff in the hope of getting a Goodies video in return but didn't get my arse into gear. [semi American humour].
If you're stuck for anything, email [email protected] [yes, really]

There are plenty of American single-play obsessives who'd welcome a spare copy. They can't get enough of British film misery.

You can have Goodies tapes whenever you like, sheep.
