MM, if you say so. I remember next to nothing about it.

I do have two episodes of Doomwatch on dvd though. They're quite fun.

Doomwatch is one of the few series I've never seen. Which is starnge, as it's exactly the sort of thing you'd expect you to have seen.

No worries. I only paid £4 for it (mostly because I'd never seen it either), so not a tragedy if it goes astray, methinks. smiley - biggrin

£4? Off a market jobby was it?

The Doomwatch novelizations? I've seen a couple of those at fairs, bu they looked so refolting tatty, I gave them a miss.

Yeah. The Beeb licensed Doomwatch off to some bunch of chancers rather than release it themselves, it appears...

I'm guessing. Quality is ropey (and that s the original VT, not the dvd transfer), and they only appear to have the two eopisodes left in any event.

Very possibly. I know they saw fit to junk things like Panarama and Tomorrow's World from the 60s. I'm sure there's a complete record of Match of the Day though smiley - cross
