I just learned there also is an unaired blackadder pilot. It's downloadable from www.rowanatkinson.com, but in VERY poor quality. Has anyone got a clue as to where a better copy might be found? |

The facetious answer would be "Windmill Road". The less facetious answer is, it's pretty widely available on the collector's circuit.

Windmill Road is an official BBC archive, if I understand correct? They probably won't do copies for complete strangers.
The collector's circuit is kinda inaccesible so far. Anyway not if you live in Holland. This country is humourously impaired when it comes to Britcom.
On internet it's just the LOW quality download.
If any collector can give me a further clue I'd be amazingly glad.

What I want to know is, does the master (if indeed it exists) also have the major dropout/crease at precisely the moment Edmund first turns round and shows his face?

Windmill Road is where the BBC's Film and Videotape library is housed, isn't it?
I'm peering at a UK Road Atlas of vintage c.1971. Is it the Windmill Road in Brentford, about 5 kms west of TV Centre?

No, it's just that being an Australian who's never travelled to the UK, Brentford and Acton and Shepherd's Bush are still exotic sounding foreign locations. ;D

"exotic sounding", is about as far as it goes. I can think of several other ways of describing these locations...

I have "seen" ;D a copy of this that's very good (VHS+) quality that doesn't appear to have dropout. Is this a bit unusual?

Well, I should think so!
It must have been a copy made before the master tape was scratched?
