RichardB Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 and, to add insult to injury, my copy of "Ripping Yarns" only plays the first story on each DVD, so much for the complete series, no menu, straight in, one episode per DVD, Bugger ! Gods Golf Ball Productions - bonus house point for anyone that can place the artist (music, early seventies, used to be represented in the UK by a man familiar to us all, some deformity of one hand, had a beard, annoying Saturday night TV programme still running - the Representative, not the music artist) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
