With the improvement in computer video display capabilities that has occurred over the years since 1998, when the site was launched, I recognise that many of the early films video files are inadequate. 
I will get around to providing better versions as soon as possible.
The following are Realvideo files, which require a RealMedia player.

or Flash video files, which require an FLV player.

The purpose of this site is to preserve material, so that if tapes are wiped or lost - as has happened with many historic television programmes - a record exists. The files on this site exist in a form that is of no commercial advantage to anyone - the images are small and the resolution is much too low to be exploited. No one makes any money from this site. Having said all of that...if anyone feels that I have infringed their rights, I will gladly acknowledge their copyright interest or remove the item from public view. Just e-mail me.
