    Question: Are proof readers employed for DVD covers/ sleeve notes......

    Spot the mistake on my shiny sparkly new Blu ray in cover notes



    £12.93 of hard-earned cash and one of Britains greatest ever actors is reduced to Mr Greenwood
    A heinous crime in my book,emails of complaint are on the way to Optimum releasing and my local MP

    I would bet it's down to the BFI...they even include a numbered leader during a British Transport Short...people who would know/care have all been made redundant!

    I would still worship the ground Miss Greenwood walked on whatever her name
    Perhaps I expected a Criterion-esque (?) DVD all well researched notes, and such like by people who love their subject,
    to be fair the film picture quality is superb and extras are interesting ,and of course we all know the star of the film is Joan Greenwood and the films a classic
    but a little more professionalism would and accuracy would be nice.............

    Surely the fire at the Sony warehouse is no coincidence...

    Perhaps people won't be so quick to condemn legitimate protest now they know the justification

    The moral compass for the young people of today ,should be, especially those working for Optimum and really all young people is learn and love and know your 1930s to 1950s British film actors and life and its consequences are so much nicer and safer

    Special screening for Barra as Whisky Galore returns - Lifestyle & Leisure - Stornoway Gazette
    Not sure if this article is relevant to Location or the Restoration of W.G.
    Interesting but, for me I will wait for it to be screened at the Electric Palace Harwich Essex
