TIME: 7.45pm This is the only way - in one place - that I could find BofD. 3 episodes in one sitting. Until recently the whole series of 6 episodes were available on youtube. Alas, this seems to have been removed apart from Ep3, oddly. Meanwhile on daily motion, the 1st 3 eps are available but no more but I do have a bad track record for locating things on d.m. If anyone can track down the remaining episodes on d.m. then we can watch them in batches of 2. But for now, it's a threepisode: https://archive.org/details/the-box-o...989-uk-vhs Christmas 1934: young Kay Harker, returning home for the holiday from boarding school (they always went to boarding school or were educated at home), meets an old punch and judy man who entrusts him with a box. Turns out it is a magical box and other people desire to own it. Bad people. So, a strange old man gives a naive young boy a magic box...makes a change from being plied with sweeties or puppies...and reckless endangerment of a junior, too. Ah, this was what our childhood was made of! I won't give away the plot... AA USE THE LINK BELOW IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR HEARING! IT'S TOO LATE FOR ME, CB, OvZ AND M' BOB https://archive.org/details/the-box-o...rneath.mp4 Edited by OneSparePart on 14-11-2024 21:33 Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Won't get to this, as it turns out. Bit annoying.

I'm not going to be able to make this, as I have a tiresome meeting. I'll try to watch later or tomorrow. |

Thanks for pinning it to the top. Is that an executive privilege? If you want we could postpone until next week. I am happy to do either.

Yes, along with many other perks, I get to keep everything on this **** website up to date. Doesn't always happen, though, sorry. But at least the SC won't usually come after me for getting it wrong. She's more likely to have us flogged for a rogue apostrophe. I'm here now, and I've nicked the fan heater for my personal comfort, so let's do this! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

We're waiting for OSP. And if you to are going to spend the rewatch exchanging references to some arcane rock music (or equivalent), I won't be happy.

I bet nobody would allow a boy that age to travel alone nowadays. Would need a chaperone or whatever they call it.
