Until well into the 1990s a film premier was a bit event, & many people with a video would make the effort to record a film they liked.

When pre-recorded tapes were expensive this was the cheapest way to have a copy unless you had a local video shop with good rental rates.

This is was a lot of old tapes found at car boot sales tend to have films on from the 1980s - 90s.

Good point!
Now that DVDs are dirt cheap, and Blu Rays offer better quality, a lot of people are dumping their VHS tapes.

ITV always seemed to premiere the best movies...

We didn't have a VCR back then, so I was dying to see it again after fours years!

The Americans had to wait another two years until it premiered on TV in the states.
We were lucky!

Thanks, I remember because it was the first time I'd seen it, & thanks to The Empire Strikes Back being reshown at cinemas in early 1983 I managed to see all 3 films in order within a few months.

Thing is a lot of times i find these scans and where i find them they say the year beside it.
If they dont say the year on the actual page.

Cheers for the info.

i reckon this is from 1979, when children of the stones originally aired. Because in september 1981, the tv times was redesigned, and didn't look like this anymore.

I think this is from 1988 as Schools programmes switched from ITV in 1987.

Also Ralph Hardwick did not become regular in Brookside until 1985.
