Dont think you will find any Brucee stuff there Camilla?
Its mainly film collector stuff , feature films on Super 8/16mm , that type of thing. A different breed to the TV collector.
If your still looking for The Canterville Ghost with Bruce Forsyth , his agent might be able to tell you if it was sold to another country. It looks very unlikely it will turn up in the UK now?

Why do you say that people who collect feature films are a different breed than people who collect TV (on film) ? Many collectors I know collect both... I've got tons of both TV and features in my collection...

What I meant was ..film collectors tend to enjoy the whole experience of setting up , tweaking film projectors, fitting widescreen lenses' 3 d glasses ...the whole nine yards of a cinema style experience .
Whearas TV collectors are not interested in film, infact they are rather annoyed that this stuff on the reel is all they have to work with. They prefer a VCR/ DVD in front of a TV set.
but of course I am sure there are cross overs and exceptions who do both. I was just trying to say that event attracts those who like to set up Gone with the Wind on a couple projectors in their living room and probably have a pop corn machine as well?

I would say that the really keen collectors don't generally mind about the format, so long as the item is of reasonable, playable, quality, and would qualify this by stating that broadcast quality formats are always the most desired.
Yours,

Place to check is the "Bring and Buy" in the Liz Cantell room, things come in all day so you need to check back.

Hartley:
I know a lot of TV-Film collectors -- so I don't think that your differntiation is always true..
There certainly are TV-Video collectors and of course those are a different breed.
The people who are most likely to come across missing stuff, however, are the film people, and perhaps the antique video people. Those who collect DVD or VHS are very unlikely to ever find anything
BTW - a lot of film collectors also collect DVD (generally with DLP/LCD projection).. Most of us don't bother with VHS anymore (although I've got about 3000 tapes in cartons that I need to do something with someday).
