What a ridiculous idea , show the original french drama whilst simultaneously airing a weak and insipid rehash. I shall watch "Astrid et Raphaelle" on my usual source as I haven't entertained CH4 or CH5 for years. CH5 did the same thing by making a rehash of the marvellous "All Creatures Great and Small" , that remake was a truly awful production.

No worries , I just took the capitalised 'LOT' the wrong way ...

He's been inundated with unprecedented numbers of orders from all directions , from a half-price bonanza started over the holiday period , in the middle of the coldest winter snap for over a decade , I suspect John's not like the Post Office drafting in an army of minions to cover the extra workload so it's hardly surprising that orders are taking time to process. You'll just have to be patient and accept that although you can complete your order with a click of a mouse it's not like you're dealing with a robotic Amazon-like service , 45s have to be found amongst the 100,000 or so on the shelves , packed securely , labelled up , and given to the postie en mass , and then they have to rush around in appalling weather etc , etc , etc.

Thanks for that , I got through the first two episodes but found my interest waning somewhat towards the end , I'm heading over to the continent right now as I was unaware it was a remake , should have known better with it being a Ch4 effort.

I'm sure he had nothing better to do on Boxing Day ...

No need to be so prickly Robb , I'm just throwing ideas into the pot that haven't been mentioned thus far. And there are umpteen examples of engineers marking the metalwork they've produced , not every deadwax mark is a pressing plant identifier. https://www.discogs.com/group/thread/678616

Could it be a quickly and scruffily scratched 'Q' maybe ? Quality in Toronto was 'just down the road'.

Really ... you must have seen for example the words "A Porky Prime Cut" scratched in the deadwax at some point in your vinyl wanderings , the trademark of the great Mr George Peckham.

Another new series that I've just started and shows promise is "Patience" , a UK police drama centred on an autistic CRO worker using her abilities to help out on criminal cases , she's very much the same as the lead character in the great movie "Temple Grandin".

Closest thing I can find so far is the Plastylite 'ear' mark. But that was a New Jersey outfit.

There appear to be two releases on 12" (33-1/3) in '81 and '82 so there could well be. (From Discogs)

The difference between M- and VG covers that ...

For anyone disappointed by Mr Costner's big budget snoozerama 'Horizon: An American Saga' I suggest giving a new series called "American Primeval" a look. Fast moving and hard hitting it's everything you could want from a wild west romp. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt24069848/

I bet John's beginning to wish he hadn't bothered ...

Nothing on his main site barring an image on the homepage but I now see mentions on Insta and Discogs , a bit arse-about-face really. https://www.discogs.com/user/johnmanshiprecords https://www.instagram.com/p/DECjF9Zt-dt/?hl=en

Link ... ? Or are you referring to his "Friday Half Price" section ?

A genuine "must watch" has just premiered , if you are of an age to remember the events of December 1988 then this is to be seen , a warning regarding the traumatic content is well placed but it's a series that sets the bar extremely high and is a breath of fresh air amongst the usual tripe offered up on TV these days. "Lockerbie : A Search for Truth"

Welcome back , that's saved me a job ...

Started the new year by watching one I've been saving for a rainy day , "Lee" starring Kate Winslet. No spoilers from me , suffice it to say it's the best thing I've seen for many a month and I wish I'd watched it sooner.

Second series of "SAS-Rogue Heroes" starts tonight on BBC1 at 21:00. And the new adaption of the Dumas classic "The Count of Monte Cristo" starring Sam Claflin is a great watch. Sumptuous costumes , sets and locations have had me glued to the first half-dozen episodes. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29547746/

"Rambler" from Cambridge right at the back with the 'tache ...

And that's the Surinamese community in the Netherlands in case anyone's confused , not records booted/pressed in Holland and sent to Suriname.

So which bl**dy video are you harping on about man ... ? This one ... ?
