Hi Jane and gang

Apologies if this has already been mentioned on one of these threads but couldn't see it.

The BBC's 2000 transmission of The Modern Antiquarian is available to view on UTube.

View part 1 of 6 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wSCUfp_-as

or the whole program at http://www.youtube.com/user/Saxondalerocks

P.S.
I and none of my known family, living dead or in between know anything about Saxondalerocks's Channel other than what is written above.
Cheers then

Yeah - I'd seen that on YouTube before - nice reminder though - cheers, Chance!

I read in an interview recently that he wasn't particularly happy with that filming... Ah - here it is!

I’ve not been filmed since a very unfortunate BBC2 experience in 2000 based on ‘The Modern Antiquarian‘. I hated it. I didn’t want to be a TV presenter. They managed to use every ‘safety shot’ from film as the actual shot in order to make me look like a TV presenter. I really knew those guys well and even then it didn’t look like what I wanted to be. So I just thought that I won’t be filmed for anything.

Damn shame. This is probably why it's never been released, as so many of us wish it would be, or shown on telly since! :(
