VHS Pilot

Whilst we still wait - probably in vain - for an offical DVD of the series to be released, the VHS release of the first (pilot) episode still appears second hand from time to time, in certain online auction sites, or certain online booksellers, whose name I will not mention because I get the feeling that posts which mention sellers by name are getting deleted.

Anyway, I just got the VHS via the aforeunmentioned bookseller, and although second-hand, it is in fairly good nick. However, here's something odd: both on the sleeve (the rather daft American-type sleeve where the cassette falls out of the open bottom - what a stupid design) and on the cassette itself, the running time is given as 120 minutes, but it is really only 1 hour and 25 minutes.

Having watched the VHS version, I wish even more that the series would come out on DVD. Maybe when the last Shuttle flight has landed safely...?
