I've tried a few times to get up there through lotteries for Open House etc, but never been successful. Great to see the revolve still works, I remember a doc many years ago saying they couldn't get replacement gears so had to ration its use. I often think of that, oddly... presumably now solved

I mean, you wouldn't name a volume after The Psychiatrist by choice would you, if you could only pick four. Also amused by the "this'll do" 18 certificate sticker added to this pre-cert VHS release by some shop owner after 1984 www.videocollector.co/fawlty-tower...
