Hi!
You just don't realise how lucky you are!
I'm a FT fan from england and we are really suffer'in cold turkey.
We haven't had any broadcasts of FT for years and you won't allow us to buy and ship the videos!
Can anyone help? before I end it all.......

All I could say is I have a handful on tape that I could ship to you thru a sale maybe.

Remember the different video formats thruout the world - England uses PAL, the United States use NTSC. Which would mean that it wouldn't work too well to order from the US anyway... Okay, most European VCR's can play NTSC but it's often not too reliable, plus that the TV set will have to support 60 Hz in order to play best (with only 50 Hz, it usually looks a little strange, plus that it can be very unstable).

Anyway, I have all episodes on tape in the European PAL format. I am very busy right now though, but I should be able to tape at least a couple of tapes or so for you (in SP = 10 episodes per tape), if you want me to. Please feel free to e-mail me (the address is both in my profile on this board, plus that you can find it on my web site).

Sincerely,
