There is a 16mm episode of Quatermass up for sale on Ebay if anybody is interested. This guy had another episode up for sale last week.

This is from the 1970s Sir John Mills (Thames TV) version of Quatermasss, not the 1950s...

The item description on Ebay makes it very clear that it is a 1979 episode. I no longer collect 16mm prints and just posted it in case any of the film collectors here might have been interested. |

It is a relevant reply, what's wrong with that?

Relevant that it includes a detail that you missed from your original post. Richard |

Only relevant if you regard these types of added comment as trivial one-upmanship or the subsequent retarded delineation as valuable.
Experiences viewing this forum suggests that the former is well married to the latter and useful information is conveyed extremely infrequently.
I understand the seller of the print is dissolving his sizeable television film collection as a result of his disgust with both the unofficial and official ignorance that surrounds archive television.
He no longer wants to be part of a corrosive experience that swings between naive amateur optimism and official ignorance mixed with procrastination.
He tells me that he is fed up with an unnatural bias towards obsessive Doctor Who fans and infective petty squabbling which has little point except to highlight the social inadequacies of those taking part, many of whom regard any comments on the forums as either a personal attack or a call to arms.
Into this dislike could be added the extremely frequent rakings over well sown ground - ad nausem.
I can’t disagree.

Relevant that it includes a detail that you missed from your original post. Richard No Richard, my original post was perfectly correct and concise. If I had been referring to the 1950s BBC series then I would have stated that an episode of 'The Quatermass Experiment', an episode of 'Quatermass II' or an episode of 'Quatermass And The The Pit' was up for sale. As it was I stated that an episode of 'Quatermass' was being offered. This was the on-screen title of the 1979 Euston Films production (not Thames TV as stated by StevenS). Any film collector or 'TV researcher' worth his salt would have known that this title was referring to the 1979 series. |

Is this a 5 minute argument, or have you paid for the full half hour?

Only five minutes, the rest of the argument didn't have clips of Daleks outside cardboard spacecraft so we threw it away.

Into this dislike could be added the extremely frequent rakings over well sown ground - ad nausem. I can’t disagree. Well, the world isn't perfect. If it was, this forum would not exist. Inefficiency and amateurism strike everywhere, if you look close enough - but so do enthusiasm and perseverance, and occasoinally the latter two may succeed or at least think their time well spent. If you are selling something over the internet, an adequate description with enough details seems usefull - that's all. Now if an administrator would kindly close this thread? |
