Haven't a clue Dan, it's just as Bob sent it to me. I can ask Bob if you want or better still you can ask him yourself at the VAME Meet!

Shameless plug for this in case anyone has forgotten - this afternoon at 2pm! Door open from 1.15.

Bob Brechin is doing an introduction on the making of the film at the start and a Q&A session at the end.

Just to thank those of you who did manage to attend this event today. It was also great to see a good number of ex-Palitoy workers at the show. I'm sure it won't have been the first time you'd seen the film, but it was mine and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you had a good time too. Thanks again

I enjoyed it, despite a few technical hiccups with the sound (might be a region problem with the DVD?). Always good to hear Bob giving a few insights into Action Man's backstory and great to see some of the old Palitoy folk remembering their time working on a great British icon. It was just a job to them at the time - but what a great job they did to survive the test of time like Action Man has done.
