..... pressed "HERE" and found myself in a thread where someone had to create his own Introductions thread in October 2006.

I did initially think I might perhaps be the first new member in 13 months.

I'd like to engage in the debates, but the only searches I've tried so far all take me to threads opened under "Looking for a Video/DVD", so I'm blocked from all of them. I don't feel awfully encouraged, just at the moment.

Luckily I'm a patient old duffer of 55, and will probably perservere. Do I need to introduce myself twice more before I can join the fora which came up on the searches? Perhaps a seasoned member will advise me.

I wonder how many people give up a bit before this stage? Does anyone have the stats for new members (i.e those who have registered) who don't post any replies?

Hello to anyone that reads this,

Graham



PS No, Modbert, not thick at all.

Other work? What could possibly be more important?

I was an extra on "Brassed Off" though so got to see many scenes being shot for that. It was "Brassed Off" that made my mind up for me to chase my dreams and become an actor myself and I'm getting there......albeit slowly.

I don't know if I'm enough of a film buff to make much of a contribution. I probably have more of an interest in animation (Norstein, Svankmajer) than regular movies. What brought me to the site was a TV programme - trying to help my wife out. She wanted to see if she could get a copy of a particular episode of "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" from 1966 - the violin music has (ironically?) been sort of haunting her for the last 41 years - I thought it would be fun to try and find out if anyone had copies. They do, although I'm not allowed to make contact yet.

I found the site by looking for links for the particular programme - indeed, I found a thread just for the series, although no recent inputs. So without the "Looking" thing, clearly a bit of a dirty word, I wouldn't have known the site existed.

I can't post attachments, it seems, or I would have signed off with a roadsign (sic) showing Yuri's hedgehog. I'll have a bit of a trawl on the site for animation stuff in a day or two - not sufficient time tonight.
