I'd still like to see the earlier stuff released from the BBC vaults, either as DVDs or as
video downloads from the BBC shop. Have we given up on this? I've not sent a letter
for a while but now seems a good time to try another push. Partly I want to see the
programmes anyway and partly I'm a bit bloody minded about seeing it through!
Specifically I mean any or all of:
I wrote in a previous thread about a pledge posted to "PledgeBank" by someone who
wanted to see an earlier series of a Mitchell and Webb comedy show released on CD
and it seems they were successful.

This would seem to be a good idea as anyone can sign up, rather than having it as a
BcUK forum only sort of thing - or a Facebook group
Also I've mentioned in several threads that the BBC shop now makes available some
of its programmes via paid-for download, which would seem to be a very easy way of
accessing programmes. A series of Bruce Parry's Tribe is available in this way.
There is plenty of tangible evidence for the BBC that Ray and his programmes are
extremely popular (I mean - they must have noticed!) so I can't take seriously the idea
that they might think there's no market for this, unless anyone can think of a reason
that I'm missing? The BARB viewing figures for Wild Food were very good for example,
not to mention the fact that many of the venues for the autumn tour are now sold out.
So... if I created some sort of pledge-type thing and cleared it with Tony and Woodlore,
would you sign it?
