    And Steve Roberts and Paul Vanezis are 'regular people' too! It's good that they bother to post, especially considering the amount of grief they sometimes get.

    I don't know where you work but I know for a fact that in some industries you are not allowed to post on forums or anything that the public can view that is related to your work (unless you are authorised to do it).(Of course you do get some people talking about general aspects of their industry on forums and websites.)

    I assume they were thinking that those rules applies for the people restoring missing episodes.

    "Although the team is officially recognised by our clients, the team members all have full time jobs and carry out restoration work in their own time."

    That isnt what I mean. What I mean is they arent regular people like us they are part of the celebrity status hence famous because they are heavying doing the dvds so Id prefer it if they wernt on the forums.

    They're not celebrities, nor famous. They are regular people doing a cracking job.

    They aren't celebrities or famous. I doubt anybody would know who they were outside of fans of the dvd range and passing through the street nobody would batter an eyelid. Just normal guys doing a job in their spare time away from their main jobs that isn't even well paid because they love the show. I find Steve's posts on the dvd section informitive regarding why things are left off or why certain bits of episodes are not so great quality and there is quite a few things about the range I didn't know until he mentioned it. Long may he continue.

    If they are selling the dvd range and featured on the range they are famous!

    Bbcww sell the DVDs not the restoration team. Their work is featured on the dvd but it is never credited on the dvd (1 exception being mind of evil). Nobody outside of regular buyers of the DVDs know who they are or what they look like. I've been a huge admirer of the restoration team for a good few years and I could only face mark Ayres ( and that's more to do with his work with the radiophonic workshop than the DVDs). I know bands that sell a lot less CDs than the who dvd range yet I'd classify them as more famous than the members of the restoration team.

    I have every story on DVD now. I have been working my way through them, in order, starting at Unearthly Child and I am currently up to Tom Baker's second year. I have watched every commentary and DVD extra along the way. I have never heard of these, apparently famous, people!

    In which case, online malcontents would be shaking their virtual fists about how members the Restoration Team think they're too good to speak to the plebs who buy the DVDs.

    Whatever they do, a group of entitled fans will get angry about it.

    Their work is known to a few thousand people. Their names are known to and remembered by fewer still.

    Don't see how that makes them famous or celebs though. Most people don't know who they are.

    How can they be famous if most people don't know who they are?

    How can they be famous if most fans bar a few handfull haven't a clue who they are. You would list photos of them all the members of team and even most pro rt fans would be struggling to name most of the faces. The last thing Steve r and co would describe themselves as celebs or famous.

    They're not a celebrity until they've been on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. Therefore the only person involved with Doctor Who who can be considered a celebrity is Colin Baker.

    Can't fault DiscoP's logic here. :D
    I reckon that's gotta be the last word on this subject surely.

    Please.

    Next year on Celebrity Big Brother...

    Paul Vanezis, Steve Roberts, Evil Annie, Phil Morris, Joe Lidster, Toby Hadoke, Mark Ayres, the Guerrier Brothers

    Holy crap, maybe a token woman? (Jac Rayner's too obvious, maybe send in Jackie Lane :-)

    :confused:

    NB Which would you rather - being told that film cans labelled with eps have been recovered, and then later that the film's not viable... or WAITING until they review them and know that they can actually remaster the finds in a sellable format?

    You need someone to liven it up though. Ian Levine and Lawrence Miles!

    Considering Ian and Steve.Roberts past history and Ian repeatedly bashing Phil morris on Twitter that would make things very interesting

    Can someone provide a precis? I really don't understand Twitter and the way it lists messages and conversations.

    One thing that is clear from the twitter page is that Ian mgiht give himself an aneurysm at any moment. :(

    At least he hasn't shouted from the rooftops about someone's (not publicly announced) death yet though.

    If you press "View Conversation" on some of the tweets, you will see the back and forth between Ian and other people.

    That was a new low for him last week.

    The usual sycophants on Twitter continue to encourage his rants as well.
