Anyone got more info?? > Min.xxx Indeed I have (preen) - I taped it, ha ha. There was only one out-take featured, a scene featuring Jackie Pearce & Stephen Grief. It was great. I can try and send you a copy Isobel but I taped it on Long Play so I might not be able to copy it, as I am dull-witted with technology, in which case I can send you the tape itself (but I'll need it back as I taped it after some of my favourite films). Mail me your postal address and it'll be on its way within days. Following on from this: does anyone know if the "Avon's teddy bear" footage still exists? I was secretly hoping this would be the out-take they showed :( I heard it didn't exist any more, but my housemate says she thinks she saw it at a convention, but quite often (like Dougal in Father Ted) she can't tell what was real and what she dreamed. (The other week she dreamed Judith Proctor - who she's never met - came to live with us and looked exactly like Kasabi.)
