23/11/82. Of course, it's easy to ignore the SU&L. Except if it's with BRIAN BLESSED?

[@videonut1988]

"My Love" by Richie had the same melody as "Easy Like Sunday Morning"...

Some serious pan and scan to squash mode at the end credits.

I did not know that Thorn EMI had a gaming console. They had too many fingers in too many pies. No wonder they went bust!

[@stickytapenrust6869]

Thorn EMI demerged and went back to being separate companies. They also sold off many parts of their business like Thames Television to Pearson, their electronics manufacturing (so it’s no surprise they made a console) to Thomson-CSF etc. As separate companies, Thorn and EMI still exist today (they didn’t go bust) but owned by other companies.

[@Scatscar1985]

Why do they keep misspelling "Marshal"?

[@stickytapenrust6869]

Think it’s someone at Thames insisting on the British English spelling and refusing to acknowledge the American version in the film’s name.

[@dangaAgadanga]

It’s clear the video has gone through a TBC, but the recording itself is really high quality. Wonder what model it was recorded on.

[@stickytapenrust6869]

No TBC, just a Panasonic DVD recorder to correct line syncs (it doesn’t correct frame syncs).
