I have tried to get it from the BBC but they said due to copyright
reasons they couldn't provide me with a copy.
Also is the Paul Anderson who directed this documentary the same Paul
Anderson who directed Event Horizon and Resident Evil?

No - it's a different Paul Anderson.
Incidentally, Paul Anderson, of Evenet Horizon fame, also directed
Mortal Kombat. I liked both films, but I think I'm in a minority for
that.

I saw Event Horizon at the cinema when it came out. It scared the
life out of me too - however, I was more than a tad pished at the
time.
That's a top tip for watching "odd" or shite films - get drunk first

Can't they even sell you a copy? Or retransmit it in a late night
slot on BBC Choice or something, where nobody is ever going to see it?

Warning - this won't work with 'Armageddon'. This will be shite whatever
state you're in when you watch it.

Then, the solution is to get very drunk first.
At least you won't remember it.
Ahhh, I see. Or failing that, arrange to have a lobotomy just before the
film.
Nah, DeKay was right - far better to have a bottle in front of me than a
frontal lobotomy.

degsy. :o)
Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?
There were, AFAIK, two documentaries done about Imagine Software, by
two totally different teams. I have one of them at home, but I don't
think it's the one you are after. This one focuses more on the
liquidation and money problems Imagine got into in 84...
There was another documentary (by ITV's Central Television I think)
which may be the one you have. I don't suppose you could make a copy of
it if I sent you a tape?

The only suggestion I got was to go to the National Film & TV Archives
and pay a tenner or so to watch it in a room there (they can't sell it
either)
Looks like it may be my only option at the moment though!

Should've seen that one coming...
Sadly I only have access to one VCR, so can't really make any copies
(I was sent the one I have btw). Speaking of which, must actually find
out where I put the damn thing...!
or a Front Bottom?

Actually, I have seem Armageddon pissed. The Rutger Hauer one, not
the Bruce Willis one.
