British Transport Films   
Volume 8 of this excellent BFI series is due for release in mid August.
Entitled "Points and Aspects", it should be especially appealing to uk.r 
readers.
Play.com are taking pre-orders

I'd kind of assumed that Volume 7 would be the last one, containing, as it 
did, the last film made by BTF as a dedicated unit ('The Stone Carriers'), 
along with a selection of 70s/80s stuff which felt like a mopping up 
exercise.

I've enjoyed the series, but would have preferred them to have gone through 
in chronological order, rather than the loose 'themes' which have been 
adopted. Still, I suppose they weren't to know the material would be so 
popular.

Why don't you advertise it to your friends on uk.transport as well?

I do not subscribe to uk.transport, therefore I am not aware that I have 
any friends on there.

What's the problem with alerting people to the availability of this excellent 
series?

Based on the content of some of his articles here, I suspect barkingbill has 
a lot more 'friends' (in as much as that word can be used on USENET) here 
than in uk.transport

Sorry Bill! Was rushing through answering posts and mistook you for 
someone else. Nobody sensible on there has friends here! Hope you are well.

Robertson is trying to be clever, but failing miserably.  I assume
that he mistook "barkingbill" for "BrianW", as I am usually the
recipient of Mr Begg-Robertson's "wit" in this regard.

Start the boozing early yesterday, did we, Mr Robertson?
