Did anyone see the (possibly a repeat) programme about Bob Monkhouse recently. He had a recording obsession, and according to his daughter had a VHS recorder in every room. He would interrupt conversations to go reset them, and had so many tapes he built an extension to house them. Many tapes of programmes that had originally been wiped by the TV companies, and so forth. I wonder what became of the collection?
Kinda reminds me of myself having no end of VHS tapes stacked full of shows. Last count was 3000 but it was a joy to reduce them over time.

Second, and on a bigger scale, is Coronation Street - I currently have every episode of the programme from 5th April 1976 right through to the present day - bar one episode from 2002! All now on DVD. It occurred to me when finding this thread that in exactly a month's time it will be exactly forty years worth of episodes (bar the one of course!).
*drools*

..I don't suppose you could be persuaded to pop a few on YouTube? I and a lot of other people are mourning the demise of the "Auntie Corrie" channel which was recently taken down for copyright infringement. (Unless that's where you got your recordings to begin with. Or maybe you even are Auntie Corrie )

Kinda wish I had kept my Filthy Rich Catflap episodes as the shoddy BBC release is terrible.
I have the entire series on a video somewhere recorded from UK Gold? from a collection i acquired a few years back. What's up with the DVD release?

I bought it, not recorded it, but 692 episodes of 'Prisoner'
I have every episode too. But I got all of hem via ITV and C5. They were all on VHS tapes (literally hundreds) but are now all on DVD.

Pretty much they cut all the music performances out and then rereleased a new version with one or two songs added but the rest still cut. Kinda irritates me no end when BBC do this because they were funny sketches especially consider yourself.

I have every episode of The Golden Girls which I began recording in 1984. I had first seen it when I was in holiday in Indiana so I knew just how funny it was.

32 years later I still have the 25 video tapes, although I haven't watched them for some time, they certainly gave me a lot of laughs over those years.

Also from WIKI > An expert on the history of silent cinema and a film collector, Monkhouse presented Mad Movies in 1966. He wrote, produced, financed and syndicated the show worldwide. The show featured clips from comic silent films, many from his own private collection, some of which he had helped to recover and restore. This film collection was the cause of a court case at the Old Bailey in 1979. Having loaned Terry Wogan's son a film, Monkhouse was charged with attempting to defraud film distributors of royalties, but after two years the judge decided that there was no case to answer.[8] Many of the films in his collection were seized and destroyed (including what would have been the only surviving copies of some films).

Ah stupid music copyright license issues, they've ruined alot of tv shows on DVD. Wow sometimes you don't realise what you have. Will need to get that digitalized soon!

I sometimes wonder why they bother releasing stuff on DVD, just pay to use the music rights.

I taped tons of stuff on VHS through 80s and 90s
Gradually replaced them all with official DVD's
Just waiting for Spender and The Paradise Club official DVD releases and I'm done.
