If you can't get the above links to work, then alternative links are
available

I've also scanned in the Video Covers and Video Cassettes themselves,

P.S. I thought I could get away without using an OT prefix in the
subject
line, as the Beeb is prominently featured in Part 1 of Micro News!!

P.P.P.S. If anybody wants DVD-quality MPEG2 files (on a DVD) then let me
know.
