Thumbs up

After a lot of research on the net, I discovered that you can buy the whole TV series from the following individual:

FOR CHANGING THIS MAIL, FOXYLADYFROMSCOTLAND, AFTER ADMINISTRATON DELETED AN UNSOLICITED ADDRESS, YOU'VE BEEN QUARANTINED

FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME @ moderators@virtualcountries.com

He wants about £11 (inc postage) for all 6 episodes on DVD.

Hope this helps people!

TUTTI FRUTTI NOT FOR SALE!

Please ignore the previous comment from Foxy Lady. I have asked for it to be removed.

Ahh, so you are still there!

Colin (aka elsonico),

Why have you been ignoring my mails, after having promised to put tutti frutti back onto the emule network?

You could at least have replied to say why you changed your mind. Would that be too much to hope for?

A "tutti-frutti"... a classic series from what I can remember of it, but I can only remember the one episode my folks have on tape, it was filmed in Buckie, near Aberdeen.

I wish BBC 3 would show repeats of it, and "City Lights" and perhaps "Scotch and Wry"... shame that they ignore us Scots!

They could always show the "High Life" again, hehe.

Sorry, just wanted to throw in my thoughts there.

Hi FraserCoullScotland,

If you ask Colin (aka elsonico on this board) nicely, he might reconsider his decision to stop providing people with a copy on DVD of the original series... Either for the very reasonable £11 that he was asking for, or by putting it on the net so people can download it using eMule.

Not to take sides, but maybe he recieved some pressure from the BBC for offering to redistribute copies of their programme.

...then again, maybe if he does, the BBC will be forced to start releasing classic Scottish comedy programmes on DVD.

Just a thought

Fraser.

There was (and probably still is) issues with the copyrights to the music and songs used for Tutti Frutti the series. That is why the BBC will not release it for video, nor will they repeat it on BBC 3 or any other channel.

I managed to get a copy of all six episodes on VHS from a contact in the BBC, on the strict instructions it was for personal use only, but even they are not 100% complete.

So I think that yer tea is oot on this one!!
