Earliest edition you've seen?
I can remember seeing ol' Barry Norman review films like Sorceror on film '77. And Alien a few years after. What's the earliest edition you've ever seen?

Hey that's cool.
I also have a few on tape: A review of Aliens from 1986. An hour special looking at the year's films from 1988, etc.
I don't think that Jonathon Ross is really a good replacement for Bazza Norman.
I seen a YouTube clip of the former producer of the show Iain Johnstone(former film critic on the Sunday Times) standing in for Barry, and also Michael Parkinson reviewing a Room With a View.
I think the earliest one I saw was Barry Norman reviewing Crocodile Dundee. From about 1991 onwards I regularly watched it. After Barry left I didn't really bother with it. Fortunately Rossy is leaving, meaning that the UK's best current film critic Mark Kermode has a shot at it, or failing Mark Cousins! I hope they go back to covering Cannes, and also do a proper Top 10 of the year, as well as a programme covering the summer blockbusters!
Here's hoping that Kermode gets the job. He's the best film critic around these days IMO. I think that Wossy was never right for the job anyway.
shareI'm a lot later.I probably watched Norman for a few years earlier but the first review I remember of his was for Dazed and Confused in 93.After a funny clip it went back to him and he had that smile, he enjoyed that movie.
