@ArrowFilmsVideo After your terrific Blu-ray releases of ‘Cruising’ and ‘To Live and Die in LA’ is there any chance of a Blu-ray of the director’s cut of ‘Jade’?

@TheProjectUnity I am adamant that the Roald Dahl children’s book was called ‘Danny, Champion of the World’, not ‘Danny the Champion of the World’.

Which Mandela Effect broke your brain?

@AppleTV I subscribed to your service for the first time to watch Ridley Scott’s Dope Thief. I’ve now cancelled as the image was so dark I couldn’t see what was happening. The YouTube trailer is completely normal. Hundreds of people complain about this. It needs to be fixed.

@channel5_tv Is Dark Knight (2000-2002) available to watch on any platform?

@unmutualwebsite That must have been so frustrating!

@tim_ayling When I tried to tape the series in 83/84, my dodgy Akai top-loading VCR would often record sound only, picture only, or neither. Apart from 'Girl', it didn't successfully record any of the final 4 eps screened, so I had to wait a few more years to see Fall Out for a second time.

@unmutualwebsite I wonder if you can clear something up for me? I first saw The Prisoner when it was broadcast on Channel 4 in the 1980s. I videoed Fall Out and watched it so many times. I’m certain that at the end of the episode the last shot was the regular shot of Number 6’s

@unmutualwebsite Many thanks for getting back to me - it’s much appreciated! That is all very odd. I watched Fall Out so many times with the bars, I can’t get used to it without. It really worked for me, although far from great if they’re not supposed to be there.

@tim_ayling Hi Tim, yes I have also wondered about this anomaly, C4 did a few odd things (no ad break bumpers for Arrival, cutting half of the 'B' sequence in AB&C, plus adding the bars at the end), sadly I know of no explanation.
