If you have already got this forgive me, but there's a problem with pound signs
in V1 which caused it to bounce on all horrible.nasty@ addresses.

I'm not sure if I've circulated this story widely but........
In 1995 Fox Video started releasing the X-Files on video. Epsiodically. In
order. After 2 months of total chart domination they mysteriously vanished
following "a re-assessment of the marketing policy" Release dates were in
place
for the remaining 8 tapes of Season 1 and yours truely was in possession of
discount vouchers.
At virtually the same week that the season 1 releases dispaeared Sky One
started re runs of X-Files S1 and publiscising heavily the fact. Many new
subscribers gathered. Sky profits up massively.
Sky TV (in all it's forms) is owned by Rupert Murdoch who owns News
International who own Fox whose subsidiaries Fox TV make the X-Files and Fox
Video release them.
Fox make 15 pounds per person per video. Sky make 20 POUNDS + per month per
satelite
subscriber.
Video's don't sell as many units as people subscribe to satelite
Draw your own conclusions.
Incidentally, I've arranged for the BOB to also hold my X-Files Videos so all
you bunnies can borrow them.

Is it just me or does it look as though the BBC are about to show the
two episodes from the last 'exclusive' video slightly earlier than they
told us previously (ie. next Thursday?). Guess this means that the video
evening won't be before the BBC's screening.
This is happening because the BBC feel that 9pm is too early
to show "2Shy" and "the walk" (or at least thats their story).
I think the xfiles is moving to 10:30 or thereabouts.
