588.0. "Life on Earth - but only 12/13ths" by KERNEL::MORRIS (Which universe did you dial?) Tue Aug 25 1992 10:59

    Catastrophe!  Disaster!  SOS!  Help!  Au Secours!  Helfen Sie bitte!
    
    I was trying to get the whole series of David Attenborough's "Life on
    Earth" onto video.  The nasty, vindictive, mean, conniving, VHS
    recorder visciously omitted to record programme number 9 (I was away on
    holiday so it can't have been my fault can it?).
    
    Did anybody else record the whole series?
    
    Will they please, please, please lend me their tape so that I can copy
    the missing episode?
    
    Please call me on 7-833-3554 or mail Jon Morris (KERNEL::MORRIS) @UVO
    if you can help.
    
    Distraught of Reading

    UKCSSE::UK_TV  loads of square eyes read that conference.

    Perhaps you could buy it from the BBC.

    << Buy from the BBC >> ?
    
    Could be pricey. I bought a 5-minute recording from TVS a year ago, and
    the charge was 29 quid!
    
    Perhaps the Beeb is cheaper?

    Thanks for suggestions from all.
    
    I am trying to avoid finding out what the BBC charge as I am afraid
    what the answer might be :-{
